Lance Bryan brings freshman poise and starter upside to Memphis’ rotation
In the 2026 season, Memphis freshman RHP Lance Bryan made an encouraging collegiate debut, working 2.2 innings with two strikeouts while allowing two runs on three hits, a solid first look for a young arm adjusting to college baseball. He’s a 5-foot-11 right-hander from Briarcrest Christian in Eads, Tenn., and the early read is that he offers competitive strike-throwing, enough poise to survive traffic, and room to grow into more. If your team values a developing pitcher with local roots and starter traits, he’s worth a close watch.
