Ty Zahradnik is giving UT Arlington a legit front-line lefty look
In the 2026 season, Ty Zahradnik flashed swing-and-miss upside and workhorse traits for UT Arlington, capped by an 8.1-inning, one-run gem with a career-high eight strikeouts that earned him WAC Pitcher of the Week honors. The 6'7" redshirt sophomore left-hander brings downhill angle, size, and poise; opponents also had trouble squaring him up in shorter outings, and Texas-Arlington’s own notes highlight his ability to work deep and induce key ground-ball double plays. If your team wants a big-bodied starter with real upside and a starter’s temperament, he’s worth a hard look.
