Will Kent gives South Dakota State a proven strike-throwing lefty with starter/relief versatility
Kent’s calling card is reliability: after working as a mid-week starter and long reliever in 2023-24, he ranked sixth on the team with 32 strikeouts in 2024 and flashed innings-eating ability with multiple six-strikeout outings. He missed the entire 2025 season due to injury, so the key question is health, but when available he has shown a starter’s mindset, competitive feel, and the flexibility to help in different bullpen or rotation roles. If your team needs a low-drama arm who can miss enough bats and fill multiple innings, he’s a practical fit.
