Joseph Fredericks brings a sneaky-efficient lefty arm to Maryland
Joseph Fredericks is a compact 5-foot-9 left-handed reliever who gives Maryland a useful change-of-pace look, and in the 2026 season he made five bullpen appearances, worked 3.1 innings, and struck out two while allowing no runs in multiple outings. He arrived from West Virginia with a track record that includes a 1.13 ERA in 16 innings as a freshman, plus strike-throwing traits and a low-90s fastball profile that make him more interesting than the size tag suggests. If you want a tough, experienced matchup lefty with upside, he’s a smart fit.
