Kyle Powers gives Jacksonville a big lefty bullpen arm with early strikeout upside
Powers has emerged as a useful bullpen piece for Jacksonville in the 2026 season, posting a 4.19 ERA over 19.1 innings with 7 strikeouts in 18 relief appearances, which points to steady run prevention and a willingness to take the ball often.[7] At 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, the southpaw brings a sturdy, athletic frame and is still in the early stages of his college career, so the appeal is his projection as much as his current results.[2][4][6] He looks like a fit for a staff that wants a durable lefty with room to grow, though the strikeout rate suggests he is more functionally solid than overpowering right now.[7]
