Jake Kolkhorst is a late-blooming Baylor arm with real mound upside
In the 2026 season, Baylor redshirt senior RHP Jake Kolkhorst is finally getting his Division I mound chance after missing the 2025 season with injury, and he has already logged his collegiate debut, including his first-career strikeout. He stands out for perseverance, arm strength, and a versatile baseball background—he was a polished two-way standout in high school and brings a seasoned, older-player feel to the staff. If you want a steady, battle-tested righty who’s still climbing back into form, he’s worth a look.
