Houston’s two-way freshman flashing arm-side upside
In the 2026 season, Caleb Kimble emerged as a useful two-way depth piece for Houston, posting a 3.97 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 22.2 innings and holding opponents to a .167 average, while also showing late-season swing-and-miss ability with five straight scoreless outings and 10 Ks across 6.2 innings. He’s a high-upside, live-arm competitor who can help on the mound more than at the plate right now, where he went 0-for-9. For a team, the fit is the arm: versatile, tough, and trending upward.
