Aidan Weaver brings power stuff and swing-and-miss upside to Duke’s rotation
Weaver is a **drafted, right-handed starter** who paired a heavy workload with strikeout volume in 2026, finishing his Duke season with **87 strikeouts in 65.0 innings** and flashing a fastball that reportedly touched **98 mph**. He stands out for an aggressive, attack-the-zone mentality and a real bat-missing changeup/slider mix, but his profile is more “high-variance power arm” than polished command artist, reflected in a **6.37 ERA** last season. He fits a team that wants upside, competitive fire, and swing-and-miss upside from the mound.[8][3][1]
