FAU’s James Litman has grown into a rotation anchor with strikeout upside
In the 2026 season, Litman emerged as Florida Atlantic’s go-to weekend starter, opening every series and finishing with an 8-3 record, a team-best 3.56 ERA, and a conference-leading seven wins before earning First Team All-American Athletic Conference honors and a USA Baseball collegiate camp invite[1][7]. He’s a hard-throwing right-hander from Boca Raton who competes with confidence, attacks early, and has shown the ability to miss bats while working deep enough to change games, including a seven-inning, five-strikeout gem against Charlotte[5]. If you want a local arm with polish, toughness, and real starter upside, he’s absolutely worth a serious look[2][5][7].
