Aaron Kniffin brings frontline bullpen value with a power arm and fresh-start upside
Aaron Kniffin is a redshirt sophomore right-handed pitcher for Sacramento State in the 2026 season, and the intrigue starts with his arm strength: his transfer profile listed fastball velocity in the 89–92 mph range with a usable breaking ball and changeup. He redshirted at Sacramento State in 2026 after a 2025 season at San Diego State, so the big question is durability and whether his stuff translates into consistent innings. For a team looking for a projectable pitcher with strike-throwing potential and room to grow, Kniffin looks like a worthwhile fit.
