Logan Piper brings a deceptive lefty look and late-inning value to San Diego
Piper looks like a useful bullpen piece for San Diego because he has already shown he can handle leverage: after transferring from Cal, he made 22 appearances in 2025 and posted a 5.17 ERA with 2 saves and 35 strikeouts in 38.1 innings, including a key save-clinching out in May[1][3]. His differentiator is upside, not just production: a training video says he climbed from the low-80s to 92 mph, which gives his left-handed profile a swing-and-miss ceiling that can matter in matchup-heavy innings[2].
