Vanderbilt RHP Tristan Bristow brings a quick arm and a power-breaking mix
Tristan Bristow entered Vanderbilt as a 6-foot-3 right-hander with a quick arm, a live downhill fastball, and a sharp breaking ball, giving him the kind of velocity/shape combo SEC staffs like to develop[7]. In his 2025 freshman season at Vanderbilt, he made 3 appearances and worked 2.0 innings with 2 strikeouts, though the sample was small and included a 9.00 ERA[4]. He has also been described as a positive, consistent young man, which matters for a program that values coachability and mound maturity as much as raw stuff[7].
