Freshman righty Charlie Pearce brings late-inning poise to ODU
Charlie Pearce has already flashed real leverage-reliever stuff for Old Dominion in the 2026 season, earning his first career save against Niagara after stranding a bases-loaded jam and showing he can miss bats when the pressure spikes[1][3]. The 6-foot-1 freshman from Superior, Colo., is listed as a right-handed pitcher and has been trusted in key spots early, which usually says a lot about a coach’s confidence in a young arm[1][4]. If you want a pitcher with a calm edge, strike-throwing backbone, and the makeup to work late innings, Pearce is worth a hard look[3].
