Connor Blue is emerging as a real rotation piece for Cincinnati
In the 2026 season, freshman RHP Connor Blue flashed starter upside with a 4-0 mark in early May and a six-inning, one-run outing at Houston, then finished Cincinnati’s season with a tougher NCAA regional start. He’s a big-bodied righty with a heavy fastball and a three-pitch mix, and Cincinnati’s staff praised his ability to attack the strike zone and record outs efficiently. The fit? Very solid if your team wants a competitive arm with upside and toughness, though he’s still learning consistency at the college level.
