Chris Batuyios brings strike-throwing grit and rotation upside for St. John’s
In the 2026 season, Chris Batuyios has been used as a right-handed option for St. John’s with starter potential, and the staff has slated him to work key weekend games, which says plenty about the trust he’s earned. His profile is built on toughness, competitiveness, and the ability to absorb innings; in 2025 he logged 30 innings with a 5.58 ERA and 27 strikeouts, and in high school he was praised as a steadily improving arm with real projectability. He’s a fit for teams wanting a battler who can grow into more.
