Zach Alarid brings strike-throwing upside and late-inning poise for Sam Houston
Alarid is a **6-1, 200-pound sophomore RHP** who flashed real command as a true freshman, posting **15 strikeouts against just 6 walks in 21.1 innings** across 11 appearances, including a scoreless save at Houston and a 6.0-inning shutout relief win at Louisiana Tech.[1] The differentiator is his ability to miss enough bats while staying in the zone, which suggests a reliever who can handle pressure innings and give a staff length when needed.[1] If you want a young arm with control, toughness, and room to grow, he fits the profile.
