LSU’s durable strikeout arm who earned a draft call
In the 2026 season at LSU, Zac Cowan worked as a versatile right-handed weapon, posting a 3-3 record with a 5.32 ERA, 54 strikeouts, and just 12 walks in 44.0 innings across 17 appearances (five starts). He flashed real swing-and-miss stuff and landed on the SEC Co-Pitcher of the Week and Baseball America National Team of the Week after a 10-inning shutout stretch in late April/early May. The fit? A competitive, high-strikeout arm with starter/relief flexibility and enough toughness to handle big-game usage.
