Connor Chicoli’s arm plays up as a useful bullpen-to-rotation piece
In the 2026 season, South Carolina right-hander Connor Chicoli showed real value as a multi-role arm, posting a 3.20 ERA with 34 strikeouts over 39.1 innings in 17 appearances, including six starts. His calling card is pitchability over pure velocity: evaluators have liked his advanced changeup, and reports say his secondary pitches are what make him effective. He also brings SEC-tested starting experience and a history of handling multiple roles, which makes him a fit for teams needing a versatile strike-thrower rather than a flamethrower.
