Dayton freshman RHP still finding his footing, but the arm talent is real
Groeschl’s 2026 results have been rough so far — 7.71 ERA in 2.1 innings with 0 strikeouts — but his profile still has intrigue because observers have noted good movement on his fastball and changeup, plus he’s shown enough athleticism to make a clean play covering first. Dayton’s roster lists him as a freshman who pitched in eight games in his rookie season, and his rise from junior varsity to Division I points to a player who has earned his way quickly. He looks more like a developmental fit than an immediate impact arm, but the raw ingredients are worth monitoring.
