Florida State adds top-ranked transfer portal pitcher Cayden Suchy

Summary

Florida State has acquired pitcher Cayden Suchy through the transfer portal as the program prepares for the 2027 season.

During the 2026 campaign, Suchy posted a 2.82 ERA and maintained a 105-23 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The Big East Pitcher of the Year made 14 starts for UConn, recording 82 1/3 innings and one complete game.
