Mark Brissey brings power, sink, and poise to Arkansas’s young pitching mix
In the 2026 season, Mark Brissey made an immediate splash for Arkansas, debuting with two scoreless innings, three strikeouts, and his first career save against Tarleton State; that kind of early leverage work says a lot about the staff’s trust in him. He arrived with a reputation for a heavy sinker, a solid three-pitch mix, and a fastball that reportedly reached 93–94 mph while keeping command intact. Add in his strong high-school résumé — 104 strikeouts, a 1.09 ERA, and a state-title run — and you get a tough, composed righty who looks built for pressure.
