Freshman Ohio righty with starter upside and room to grow
Colton Landtiser entered the 2026 season as a freshman right-handed pitcher for Ohio and got immediate innings, including his first career start against Tennessee Tech on Feb. 22, 2026, when he worked 2.2 innings and allowed two earned runs, then started again at Dayton on March 1, 2026. He looks like a developmental arm with starter traits: size, a mound-presence profile, and the confidence to take the ball early. The main question is consistency, not toughness—his early results showed some freshman growing pains, but the Bobcats clearly trusted him enough to give him real starts.
