Veteran San José State arm who can bridge innings, but results have been uneven
In the 2026 season, Peter Herrick has been a useful multi-inning right-hander for San José State, flashing a real strength in relief work like his 4 1/3 shutout innings with four strikeouts against Santa Clara and a 2.1-inning shutout bridge at Fresno State, but he’s also had some rocky outings that pushed his season line to a 6.12 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 25.0 innings. The appeal is the “take-the-ball” profile: he’s experienced, has handled both starts and relief, and has shown he can calm a game when his command is on. If a staff needs a competitive innings-eater with sneaky leverage value, he fits; if it needs pure overpowering stuff, he’s more grinder than buzzsaw.
