Ian Korn brings starter-level poise, strike-throwing, and big-game versatility to WVU
In the 2026 season, Korn emerged as one of West Virginia’s most reliable arms, posting a 3.39 ERA with 70 strikeouts and just 13 walks across 79.2 innings before being drafted by the Giants. He’s a right-hander who can miss bats, limit damage, and handle both relief and spot-start work — including a six-inning shutout gem against TCU and a six-inning, one-run relief outing in the College World Series. His appeal is simple: competitive, durable, and efficient, with the kind of calm that plays in October-style pressure.
