Sam Garewal gives Stanford a big-bodied lefty with strikeout upside, but the injury bug has slowed the climb
In the 2026 season, Stanford left-hander Sam Garewal flashed real relief value, including a win over Saint Mary’s with 3.0 innings, 4 hits, 2 earned runs and 2 strikeouts, after opening the year with a strikeout in his Stanford debut at Cal State Fullerton. He’s a 6-foot-5 power arm with a heavy frame and a hard-to-miss L/L profile, but his 2026 impact was limited because he missed part of the season due to injury. The fit? Intriguing if you want a big, experienced lefty with academic polish and bullpen flexibility.
