Jim Penders is currently the manager of the Connecticut Huskies baseball team. Penders began his time with the Huskies baseball family in 1991, as a player on the varsity team. In his senior year, he was named a co-captain and went on to lead the Huskies to victory in the Big East Tournament. Penders was named an assistant head coach of the Huskies in 1997, and became the full head coach in 2003. The Huskies have been one of the most successful teams in the Big East since then.
Playing Years
Penders was a co-captain in 1994. The Huskies finished with a 26-19 record and won the Big East Tournament before losing to Georgia Tech and Long Beach State in the NCAA Regionals and being eliminated. Nevertheless, Penders finished with a great season, hitting .354 with seven home runs and 46 RBIs.
Coach
Penders was hired as a graduate assistant baseball coach before being named a full assistant in 1999. He was promoted to head coach in 2003 after Andy Baylock left the program. Penders won the Big East Coach of the Year honors in 2006, 2010, and 2011, taking the Huskies to the NCAA Tournament in each of those three seasons. In 2011, Penders led the Huskies to their first Super Regional ever. They were eliminated by South Carolina, two games to none.
