UC San Diego two-way catcher/pitcher Kayden Henson offers versatility, but 2026 mound results have been uneven
Henson is a left-handed hitter/right-handed thrower who gives UC San Diego real roster flexibility as a catcher and pitcher, and his background includes competing in a CIF championship and playing on a high-level high school track. The main appeal is versatility, competitive experience, and the ability to impact a game in multiple roles; the concern is that his 2026 pitching line has been rough so far, with a 13.50 ERA across 6.2 innings, so he profiles more as a developmental fit than an instant impact arm.
