Marcus Botelho gives Siena a power arm with late-inning poise
Botelho is a 6-foot-5 right-hander who has shown he can handle meaningful innings for Siena, including a 2026 win over Stony Brook in which he worked two innings, allowed one hit, and struck out one, plus a 2026 save against UMass with 1.1 scoreless innings and two strikeouts. He brings size, a relief-oriented power profile, and enough trust from the staff to appear in leverage spots; Siena’s own bio also notes his captaincy at CCRI and academic excellence recognition, which hints at maturity and buy-in. For a team, that’s the attractive combo: big frame, competitive demeanor, and a guy who seems comfortable in pressure.
