Freshman ace with elite command and eye-popping run prevention
In the 2026 season, Oregon State left-hander Trey Morris emerged as one of the nation’s best freshmen, going 7-0 with a 1.98 ERA, 67 strikeouts in 59 innings, and a national-best 0.83 WHIP. What makes him pop is not just the numbers: he showed real starter versatility, thriving both in relief and in the rotation, and finished the year on a heater with a 1.38 ERA over his final six starts. He looks like a high-floor, low-drama arm who misses bats, limits traffic, and fits teams that value poise and strike-throwing.
