6-foot-8 lefty Tristan Augedahl is becoming SDSU’s bullpen weapon
In the 2026 season, Tristan Augedahl has emerged as a versatile South Dakota State reliever, piling up wins and saves while working in high-leverage spots; he’s already logged multiple shutout outings, including a 3 2/3-hitless-inning save and a 2-inning scoreless win, with 23 strikeouts in 17 innings by late March. His calling card is a big 6-8 frame, a left-handed look, and a knack for missing bats without getting rattled — the kind of pitcher who can change a game fast and fits a team needing an impact bullpen arm.
