Connor Sims brings innings-eating experience, but Bellarmine has leaned on him in a rough 2026 stretch
In the 2026 season, Bellarmine right-hander Connor Sims has taken the ball in multiple roles and shown enough workload durability to log a four-inning outing with four strikeouts against Dayton, but his overall numbers have been shaky with a 19.70 ERA and 0-4 record in limited action. What makes him interesting is the track record behind him: before Bellarmine, he was a productive starter at IU Southeast with 89 strikeouts in 72.0 innings and a .226 opponent average, so the arm talent is clearly real. He looks like a pitcher who can give you strike-throwing upside and starter depth if the command sharpens.
