Madden Seidl is giving Kansas a long, lanky righty with early strikeout bite
In the 2026 season, true freshman Madden Seidl has already shown why Kansas trusts him on the mound: at 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, he brings downhill angle, poise, and starter’s durability, and he’s flashed swing-and-miss stuff with 13 strikeouts in 14.0 innings alongside a 3.46 FIP. His results have been a bit uneven, but he has already logged starts and impact outings, including a 4.0-inning, 1-run debut win and a 3.0-inning, 5-K relief win, which suggests a versatile arm with real upside if you value projection, toughness, and strike-throwing growth.
