UCF closer Chandler Dorsey brings late-inning poise and swing-and-miss upside
Chandler Dorsey is a proven bullpen weapon for UCF, with a history of handling high-leverage innings as a primary closer and, in the 2025 season, posting a 3.60 ERA with eight saves in 30.0 innings for 26 relief appearances before being named to the 2026 NCBWA Stopper of the Year preseason watch list.[1][7][8] What makes him interesting beyond the stat line is the leverage profile: he has already shown he can absorb a heavy relief workload, miss bats, and be trusted in tight games, making him a fit for teams that need an experienced right-hander with closer temperament and late-game reliability.[1][2]
