Freshman lefty with swing-and-miss upside, still getting his feet under him
In the 2026 season, Mercyhurst freshman LHP Peyton Weigand has flashed punchout potential but has also had a rough introduction to Division I, allowing 26 hits and 20 walks in 30.0 innings with a 43.20 ERA and 4 strikeouts, so the stat line is a work in progress. What makes him interesting is the left-handed profile and freshman upside rather than the current numbers; he looks like a developmental arm with room to grow if Mercyhurst can tighten the command and let the stuff play. If your team values patience and projection, he’s a name to watch.
