Seattle U lefty Kale Hammer brings power stuff and proven bounce-back upside
Hammer is a 6-foot-3 left-handed pitcher whose profile stands out for a true power fastball in the mid-90s, a deep mix that includes a slider, curveball, and splitter, and the ability to miss bats when his command is on[1][8]. After a healthy 2025 at Gonzaga, he logged 70 innings, struck out 61, walked only 20, and earned WCC Pitcher of the Week honors after a seven-inning, eight-strikeout outing against Pacific[3]. The fit question is simple: if your staff wants a durable, strike-throwing lefty with upside and not just raw heat, Hammer looks like a real add.
