Landon Sloan brings power arm upside and fresh-faced intrigue to GCU’s bullpen
In the 2026 season, Grand Canyon freshman RHP Landon Sloan appeared in two relief outings and logged his first college strikeout against Rice, a small sample but a clear sign the Lopes are trying to build him into a live-armed depth piece. Listed at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds and originally a high-school catcher before focusing on pitching, Sloan offers intriguing arm strength and developmental upside rather than finished polish. If you want a young righty with size, athletic background, and long-term bullpen potential, he’s worth a look; if you need proven innings right now, he’s still a project.
