Cannon Rice is a low-usage Austin Peay arm with a live right hand and room to rise
In the 2025 season, Austin Peay right-hander Cannon Rice made three relief appearances and logged 3.1 innings with a 10.80 ERA, but he finished with back-to-back outings of at least one inning and a strikeout, showing some late-season traction. His profile is still more “follow the development” than “finished product”: a right-handed pitcher out of Rossview High with a redshirt year in 2024 and strong academic standing, suggesting a player the staff trusts to keep grinding. If you need a projectable bullpen piece with upside, Rice is worth a look.
