Charlie Atkinson gives Baylor a big-bodied, strike-throwing bullpen arm with upside
In 2026, Baylor junior RHP Charlie Atkinson emerged as a useful relief option, making his Baylor debut with two scoreless innings and later tying his season high with 2.2 innings in a road win at Houston. He’s a 6-foot-5, 220-pound righty with a starter’s frame, and his best trait is durability-in-a-burst: he can cover multiple innings, miss bats, and keep the ball in the park. Atkinson’s 2026 line showed a 3.54 ERA with 15 strikeouts in 20.1 innings, suggesting a steady bullpen fit with some sneaky leverage upside.
