Tyler Pitzer brings SEC-tested swing-and-miss relief to Mississippi State
Tyler Pitzer is a live right-hander who gives Mississippi State a proven SEC arm: in the 2026 season, he has worked mostly in relief with a 3.07 ERA over 14 2/3 innings, 21 strikeouts, and just six walks, while also tossing two perfect innings in a win over Ole Miss. He transferred from South Carolina with a track record of missing bats and handling pressure, and the buzz around him is his poise, strike-throwing, and ability to miss barrels—not just his numbers. He looks like a strong fit for a staff that wants leverage innings and toughness.
