Locked-in late-inning RHP with swing-and-miss stuff
Buckner looks like a high-leverage bullpen arm for Troy after posting a 1.99 ERA, a 0.79 WHIP, and 33 strikeouts in 22.2 innings, plus a career-high six saves in 2025.[1][2] What makes him stand out is the combination of run prevention and late-inning trust: he didn’t allow an earned run in the regular season, which points to real command and poise under pressure.[1] At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, the right-hander brings a durable frame and a proven ability to miss bats, making him a strong fit for teams needing a dependable, intensity-driven bullpen anchor.[5]
