Ryan Griffin is Northeastern’s big, sinking-righty breakout arm
In the 2026 season, Ryan Griffin has emerged as a real weapon for Northeastern: the 6-foot-6 senior right-hander was 7-2 and delivered a 5.1-inning, one-hit gem in the CAA Tournament, plus a career-high nine-strikeout outing against Monmouth and a CAA Pitcher of the Week honor after a 2-0 week with a 1.23 ERA[2][5][8][14]. What makes him interesting isn’t just the numbers—it’s the big frame, starter-grade workload, and poise in pressure spots, including a win over LSU earlier in the season[10]. He looks like a fit for teams that value downhill plane, strike-throwing, and a pitcher who can handle meaningful innings when the lights get bright[2][10][14].
