Iowa lefty John Henry Kohorst brings polish, pedigree, and strike-throwing upside
Kohorst arrives at Iowa as a Minnesota state champion and a high-upside left-handed arm who showed real strikeout ability in high school, including 27 Ks in 19 innings as a senior and a strong fastball-changeup mix that earned praise for late fade and low-zone life in 2025. He was also ranked among Minnesota’s better prep arms, which fits an Iowa staff that likes competitive, attack-minded pitchers. If your team wants a lefty with feel, toughness, and room to keep growing, he’s the kind of arm you scout twice.
