Jaxon Pridgen brings upside as a young Tennessee Tech righty with late-inning flashes
Jaxon Pridgen entered Tennessee Tech’s 2025 season as a rookie arm that the staff expected to help right away, and he showed real bullpen value with one save and 7 strikeouts in 8.0 innings in 2025. His 2025 run prevention numbers were uneven, but the fast-track usage suggests Tennessee Tech trusted his stuff in pressure spots. In 2026, he continued to appear in the mix, though his sample remained small. If your team wants a live-arm right-hander with upside and early experience in leverage, he’s a name worth watching.
