Max Bettis brings big-frame upside and strike-throwing intrigue to K-State’s mound mix
Max Bettis, a 6-foot-6 right-hander from Topeka, arrived at Kansas State as a sophomore with clear power-pitcher upside and a strong local pedigree, earning a spot in the Wildcats’ 2026 and 2027 rosters. His profile points to a pitcher who can create downhill angle and project well, with recruiting outlets ranking him among Kansas’ top arms in the 2025 class. Why care? Size, home-state familiarity, and long-term ceiling make him a fun fit if you want a developmental RHP who could grow into real innings rather than just fill them.
