Braeden Perry is a comeback-minded, strike-throwing Rhode Island righty with real upside
Braeden Perry’s calling card is resilience: after emerging as Rhode Island’s Sunday starter as a true freshman in 2023, he missed the 2024 season due to injury and returned in 2025 to make 19 appearances and two starts. The 2026 preseason notes still had Rhode Island considering him for the rotation, which says the staff trusts his stuff and competitive makeup. He also brings plus size for a college right-hander at 6-foot-3, 190-plus pounds, and his engineering background hints at a disciplined, high-motor profile. If you want a durable arm with starter traits and some upside bounce-back energy, he’s worth a look.
