Freshman Two-Way Arm to Watch: Caldwell McFaddin Brings Baylor Some Juice
In the 2026 season, Baylor freshman Caldwell McFaddin has flashed the kind of two-way upside coaches love: a 6-foot-1, 220-pound INF/RHP who can impact the game on both sides of the ball, and who already delivered scoreless relief work, including two shutout innings in his Baylor Ballpark debut and 2.1 gritty innings in an extra-inning win over UTSA. His high-school résumé suggests real stuff and toughness—he hit .345 with power and drove in 72 runs, while also posting a 1.60 ERA with 113 strikeouts in 109 innings—making him a physical, versatile fit if a team wants upside and competitive edge.
