Kannon Carr is Kansas’ reliable swingman with starter upside
Carr has carved out a real role for Kansas in the 2026 season, opening games and also handling bulk innings with a live right-handed arm, working from a 2-1, 2.67 ERA line in early April and showing he can give the Jayhawks length when they need it most. His differentiators are poise, pitchability, and the ability to miss bats without needing perfect stuff every inning; Kansas has also viewed him as one of its top rotation contenders after he posted 50 strikeouts in 55 innings in the 2025 season. If your team wants a competitive, durable RHP who can start or bridge, he fits the bill.
