Ayden Benson brings veteran righty depth to Wichita State’s 2026 bullpen
In the 2026 season, Ayden Benson profiles as a sturdy right-handed arm for Wichita State, listed at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, after transferring in from Fort Scott CC; he’s part of a crowded Shockers pitching staff that values depth and matchup flexibility.[3][5] His value is less about flashy headlines and more about usable innings, with recent game logs showing clean relief work and strike-throwing ability, including a 2.0-inning outing with 2 strikeouts and 1 hit allowed against Butler in 2026.[10] If a team wants a physical, experienced RHP who can handle middle relief and bring a steadying presence, Benson looks like a sensible fit.[5][10]
