Tall right-hander with upside, but still finding the strike zone
In 2026, Aidan Karns has flashed raw upside for UT Martin but his current results are uneven, with 3.1 innings, 3 strikeouts, 2 walks, and an 18.90 ERA in limited work, suggesting he is still developing into a dependable college arm.[1] The 6-foot-2, 200-pound right-hander brings a classic projectable frame and was strong enough in junior college to earn a spot at UT Martin, but the numbers show he is more of a developmental fit right now than an immediate plug-and-play rotation piece.[4]
