Brazilian righty with legit swing-and-miss stuff and big-game value for Alabama State
In the 2024 season, Caio Araujo was a difference-maker for Alabama State, going 3-1 with a 2.48 ERA, 40 strikeouts, and only 10 walks in 39 innings, which points to a hard-throwing reliever who attacks the zone and misses bats. He also delivered in high-leverage spots, including a win over Auburn, and earned SWAC Pitcher of the Week. The standout differentiator is his poise and polish: he’s a 6-foot-2, 225-pound righty with international experience for Brazil, plus a profile built on command, strike-throwing, and competitive toughness rather than empty velocity hype.
