Show Notes
It’s going to be difficult for Caden Glauber to top his freshman season. Coming off a rookie campaign that earned him national recognition, Glauber is back in Chapel Hill for his sophomore season as he looks to build upon the breakout year that established him as one of the premier arms in college baseball. In 2026, the 6-foot-4, 210-pound right-hander pitched 92 innings over 30 appearances for the Diamond Heels, posting a 2.05 ERA while striking out 114 batters and allowing 60 hits. The honors included First-Team All-American, National Freshman of the Year, ACC Freshman of the Year and First-Team All-Conference. In an exclusive Inside Carolina interview, Glauber sat down with Spencer Haskell and Tommy Ashley to discuss last season and his preparation for the 2027 season.
