Utah Tech’s steady senior righty with bite
In the 2026 season, Dakoda West has been a workhorse starter for Utah Tech, logging 79.2 innings with 71 strikeouts and a 4.86 ERA while making 15 starts, which tells you he’s trusted to take the ball and compete deep into games. He’s got the kind of profile coaches like: strike-throwing experience, senior poise, and enough swing-and-miss to miss bats without living on the edge. The upside? A durable right-hander with starter’s reliability; the caveat? He’s been hittable at times, so he fits best with a team that values innings, toughness, and development over pure flash.
