UTSA’s Sam Simmons has emerged as a high-leverage bullpen weapon in 2026
In the 2026 season, the senior right-hander has been one of UTSA’s most trusted late-game arms, working as a stopper with standout efficiency and poise: he opened the year with flawless outings, later logged multiple save opportunities, and entered late March among just four Division I pitchers with six wins while carrying a 1.42 ERA. What makes him pop isn’t just the numbers—it’s the calm, attack-the-zone demeanor, strike-throwing consistency, and ability to handle the game’s biggest moments without flinching. If you need a competitive, high-leverage reliever who can shorten games, Simmons looks very much like your guy.
