Columbia’s senior workhorse with big-game poise
In the 2026 season, Thomas Santana has been Columbia’s steady right-handed anchor, going 5-5 with a 5.28 ERA, 51 strikeouts in 59.2 innings, and a .270 opponent batting average while earning All-Ivy League second-team honors and a team Cy Young award.[5][7] The differentiator is his durability and competitiveness: he’s been a weekend starter, delivered multiple quality outings in pressure spots, and is a three-time All-Ivy selection with 15 career wins, so he profiles as a reliable rotation piece for teams that value innings, toughness, and strike-throwing more than flash.[2][4][6][9]
