Paxton Meyers brings bullpen grit and late-game poise to UConn
In the 2026 season, Paxton Meyers has been a high-leverage relief weapon for UConn, closing games with multiple saves and strong shutout outings, including a 4.2-inning scoreless effort against Bryant and a save against Rutgers. He stands out for strike-throwing, composure under pressure, and the ability to handle longer relief stints rather than just one-inning flashes. His path matters too: after Tommy John surgery and an injury-shortened 2025, he returned to contribute immediately, which makes him a savvy fit for a team needing maturity, resilience, and bullpen stability.
