Kassius Thomas is Stanford’s versatile late-inning righty with live stuff and closing instincts
Kassius Thomas has emerged as a useful Stanford arm in the 2026 season, working mostly in relief and delivering multiple clean, leverage outs, including a 1.2-inning scoreless win over Utah Valley and a save against Santa Clara. He’s a former highly regarded recruit with a fastball that has been reported in the low-to-mid 90s and a sharp breaking ball, so the appeal is obvious: he can miss bats and handle pressure. The fit is strong for teams needing an aggressive, strikeout-minded right-hander with experience in both relief and spot-start duty.
