Cornell’s strike-throwing righty with real weekend-starter upside
In the 2025 season, Mayfield emerged as Cornell’s most reliable starter, going 2-2 with a 4.26 ERA over 61 1/3 innings, striking out 56 and holding opponents to a .191 average; he also flashed big-moment stuff with six no-hit innings in Cornell’s upset of Duke to open 2025. His calling card is command and efficiency, not just velocity, and the rebound from an injury-affected stretch makes him more interesting than the box score alone. If your staff wants a competitive, polished right-hander who can miss bats and survive lineups multiple times, he’s a strong fit.
