Cal Poly freshman righty Arlo Pendleton is flashing mid-rotation upside with strikeout punch
In 2026, Arlo Pendleton has shown the kind of arm that gets coaches excited: the 6-foot-5 freshman right-hander has already worked in relief for Cal Poly and turned heads in summer ball, where he posted a 3-2 record, 3.86 ERA and 28 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings for Corvallis while averaging 10.8 K/9. He’s a fit if you want length, strike-throwing upside, and a pitcher who can miss bats; the extra polish is still coming, but the frame, competitiveness, and fast-development profile make him a serious arm to watch.
