Bucknell’s Samuel Janik brings real arm talent, but the results still need to catch up
In the 2025 season, the Bucknell sophomore RHP made 13 appearances with one start, logging 21.0 innings with a 9.86 ERA, 12 strikeouts, and 20 walks, so the profile says “work in progress” more than polished weapon. Still, he flashed upside with seven outings allowing one earned run or fewer and a two-inning, no-hit showing against Lehigh, which hints at useful bullpen depth if the command tightens. He looks like a competitive, local arm with some swing-and-miss moments, but he’s best viewed as a developmental fit right now rather than an immediate lock-in weekend starter.
