Landon Waters gives Ole Miss a tough, trustworthy SEC arm
In the 2026 season, Landon Waters has been a valuable right-hander for Ole Miss, with reports showing a 0.90 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 2 saves, and 21 strikeouts over 20 innings, while also handling high-leverage spots for the Rebels[15]. He stands out for pitchability and strike-throwing in pressure moments rather than pure overpowering stuff, and his 2025 work also showed he could miss bats but was still refining consistency (6.61 ERA, 22 strikeouts in 16.1 innings)[1]. If you want a competitive, experienced arm who can get outs in big innings, he’s a fit; if you need a dominant, high-velocity headline ace, that’s not quite his lane yet[1][15].
