Workhorse RHP giving Texas Southern a real Friday-night feel
In the 2026 season, Justin Mayes has been Texas Southern’s stabilizer on the mound, posting a 4-4 record with a 4.21 ERA and 92 strikeouts across 62.0 innings, and he’s flashed real upside with a 12-strikeout, eight-inning gem against Grambling and an 11-strikeout outing in the SWAC tournament. What stands out is the swing-and-miss stuff and durability; the walk total shows some traffic, but the strikeout volume and ability to miss bats under pressure make him a legit fit for teams wanting a competitive, innings-eating right-hander with bite.
