Experienced righty with a starter’s backbone and early South Alabama trust
In the 2026 season, Collier Barham worked mostly as a starter for South Alabama and logged a 6.51 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 47.0 innings, including a six-strikeout outing against Louisiana Tech and back-to-back wins over Georgia Southern and Marshall.[13] He’s a right-handed arm with college experience, plus the kind of durability and mound confidence coaches usually like when they need a steady innings-eater.[13] The fit? More useful than flashy right now: not a headline ace, but a dependable strike-thrower who has already shown he can handle both bullpen and rotation roles.[7][13]
