Caden Aoki brings ace-level command and postseason poise to Georgia’s staff
In the 2026 season, Georgia RHP Caden Aoki became one of the Bulldogs’ most trusted arms, finishing 9-1 with a 3.86 ERA, 95 strikeouts, and just 26 walks across 72.1 innings while handling both starting and relief work. The big differentiator is his command and adaptability: even without overpowering velocity, he wins with precision, poise, and the ability to miss bats in high-leverage spots. He was named a finalist for the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award, and multiple reports praised how quickly he became Georgia’s most reliable remedy on the mound.
