Louis Cespedes gives Merrimack a steady, strike-throwing righty look
In the 2026 season, Merrimack’s Louis Cespedes has worked primarily in relief and logged a 2.00 ERA across 14.0 innings with 14 strikeouts, plus a 0-2 record and a 10.0 K/9 feel that suggests usable swing-and-miss stuff[2]. He also turned in a strong three-inning relief outing against Maine on May 12, 2026, allowing just one hit, which hints at a pitcher who can settle a game and keep traffic light when he’s right[3][4].
