Tatum Clopton is a proven comeback arm for LSU with SEC-level command and toughness
Clopton has become a valuable LSU pitcher because she pairs a hard-throwing profile with real resilience: after missing a full season and returning from a long injury layoff, she posted a strong 2025 comeback line of 7-2 with a 3.14 ERA, 45 strikeouts in 58.0 innings, and a .186 opponent average, then opened 2026 with a 7-1 record and 2.53 ERA through 44.1 innings. Her fit is built on competitiveness, strike-throwing, and the ability to work deep enough to finish games, making her a high-upside rotation piece when health is stable.[1][6][7]
