Experienced Cincinnati RHP with swing-and-miss upside when healthy
In the 2024 season, Tommy Boba showed real frontline stuff for Cincinnati, logging 64 strikeouts in 70.2 innings over 18 appearances and earning Big 12 Pitcher of the Week honors after a dominant March start[1][3]. His calling card is mound savvy: he works deep into games, attacks hitters with feel, and has flashed ace-level ceiling, including a near no-hit effort and an 8.0-inning, 8-strikeout gem[1][5]. The caveat is health—he missed the 2025 season due to injury, so a team would be buying experience, competitiveness, and upside with some availability risk[1][8].
