Niklas Pavia brings big-strikeout upside to Dayton’s rotation
In the 2026 season, Niklas Pavia has been a high-leverage arm for Dayton, working in the weekend rotation and showing swing-and-miss stuff that translates: Dayton noted he struck out 112 batters in 79 innings at Southern New Hampshire, and in the Flyers’ 2026 stats he’s logged 33 strikeouts. He’s a 6-foot-4 junior righty with starter’s size and a track record of conference honors, but the tell here is the profile: power, competitiveness, and enough arm talent to miss bats when he’s on. If your team wants upside and intensity, he’s a live fit.
