North Florida’s breakout lefty, now a pro-level problem
In the 2026 season, Dakota Stone was one of the ASUN’s best arms for North Florida, going 7-2 with a 2.42 ERA, 95 strikeouts in 74.1 innings, and a .198 opponent batting average; he also earned First Team All-ASUN honors and was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2026 MLB Draft. His separator is a swing-and-miss left arm that can work deep into games, plus enough strike-throwing to survive contact-heavy innings. If you want a tough, mature competitor with proven production, he’s the kind of fit that gets front offices and coaching staffs grinning.
