Chris Knier is emerging as FSU’s late-inning strikeout weapon
In the 2026 season, Florida State’s junior RHP Chris Knier has become one of the Seminoles’ most trusted bullpen arms, working as a high-leverage reliever and piling up key saves while showing swing-and-miss stuff that evaluators like. He’s praised for his rising fastball, tumbling changeup, and ability to handle pressure; he’s also been candid about past walk issues, which makes his current command-focused growth especially interesting. If you need a tough, competitive right-hander who can miss bats and absorb big moments, Knier fits the profile.
