Mercyhurst’s Mark Collinger brings proven high-school poise and a power arm to the Lakers' bullpen
Collinger arrived at Mercyhurst after a strong high-school run at Indiana Area, where he was part of a 2025 PIAA Class 4A state title team and was viewed as a Mercerhurst recruit with big-game credibility and mound composure. In 2026, he’s been used in relief for the Lakers, including a brief appearance on March 22 in which he allowed one earned run in 0.2 innings. The early read: competitive right-hander, high-pressure temperament, and a pitcher who can help if your staff values toughness and developmental upside more than polished volume.
