Ryan Zamora has become Ohio State’s go-to leverage arm
Ryan Zamora, a junior right-hander for Ohio State in the 2026 season, profiles as a high-trust bullpen piece with real swing-and-miss stuff and the mentality of a closer: he logged 39 strikeouts in 35.2 innings with three saves and a 3.79 ERA, then kept delivering in conference play with multiple scoreless outings and key late-inning work. The differentiator is his competitiveness and reliability in pressure spots; the downside is some walkiness, so he fits best with a staff that can sharpen command while leaning into his toughness and strikeout edge.
