Texas Southern’s Zac Laviage is a gritty lefty who can battle deep into games
In the 2026 season, Zac Laviage showed swing-and-miss ability with real innings-eating value for Texas Southern, including a seven-inning relief outing against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and a 4.1-inning start at UTRGV, though his line also reflects some volatility with walks and tough results in the SWAC. His best differentiator is toughness: he’s a 5'10" left-hander who works his way into games, has overcome a non-linear path to Division I, and brings a high-work-ethic, resilient mindset that coaches tend to love. If you want a competitive, battle-tested arm with upside and edge, he’s worth a serious look.
