Brian Strange emerged as Elon’s Friday ace in 2026 before jumping to pro ball
In the 2026 season, Brian Strange gave Elon a dependable big-game starter look: he logged 78.2 innings with 76 strikeouts, ranked among the CAA leaders in innings and strikeouts, and delivered an 11-K, six-inning breakout against Fairfield. He’s a classic workhorse right-hander with poise, swing-and-miss stuff, and enough stamina to hold down the Friday role. The best part? He already turned that performance into an undrafted free-agent deal with the Twins, which tells you evaluators liked the arm, the competitiveness, and the upward trend.
