Cal Scolari’s heavy right arm turned Oregon into a weekend-starter weapon
In the 2026 season, Oregon RHP Cal Scolari became a real draft riser after going 5-1 with a 3.32 ERA, 85 strikeouts and 57 innings, then got picked by the White Sox in the fifth round. He’s a 6-foot-4, 220-pound right-hander with starter durability, swing-and-miss stuff, and the kind of poise that played well in high-leverage moments for the Ducks. The differentiator: he rebuilt his stock after Tommy John surgery and looked like a polished, competitive innings-eater rather than a pure thrower.
