Zach Busick is giving Little Rock a live right-arm option with strikeout upside and real bounce-back momentum
In the 2026 season, Busick has shown he can miss bats and work deep enough to matter, including a five-hitless-inning, six-strikeout start against Eastern Michigan and a six-inning outing with six Ks vs. Central Arkansas. He entered 2026 after a rough 2025, when he posted an 8.60 ERA over 30.1 innings, so the big question is consistency—but the stuff is clearly playable. The appeal here is simple: a competitive junior right-hander with starter upside, toughness, and enough swing-and-miss to help a staff if the command keeps sharpening.
