experienced Louisville bullpen arm who can steal a clean inning
In the 2025 season, Eli Hoyt was a low-usage but steady Louisville right-hander, making eight relief appearances and posting a 12.60 ERA with six strikeouts in 5.0 innings; the encouraging wrinkle is that he was still trusted in a pressure spot, including getting out of a bases-loaded jam against Western Kentucky. He’s a 6-foot, 195-pound senior from Waukesha, Wisconsin, with a right-right profile and a working-man bullpen vibe: not flashy, but competitive, polished enough to survive traffic, and useful if you want a strike-thrower who won’t blink when the inning gets spicy.
