Josh Katz is Penn’s workhorse right-hander with strikeout bite and starter poise
In the 2026 season, Katz led Penn with 18 appearances and added two starts, showing the durability coaches love in a high-leverage arm. His fastball-slider profile has produced swing-and-miss moments, and he’s already been trusted in big spots, including an Opening Day start and a save in 2025. The edge: toughness and versatility. The caution flag: run prevention has been inconsistent against stronger lineups, so he looks best as a competitive bullpen weapon or back-end starter who can absorb innings and attack hitters without backing down.
