A.J. Kostic brings two-way value and strikeout bite to Lamar
A.J. Kostic, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound senior transfer at Lamar in the 2026 season, offers real versatility as a right-handed pitcher who can also help the lineup as an outfielder. He arrived with a strong recent track record: at Central Michigan in 2025, he made nine starts in 10 mound appearances and logged 46.1 innings with 36 strikeouts, and Lamar has already used him in high-leverage work. The selling point is his physicality, starter’s experience, and competitive two-way profile—exactly the kind of rugged, plug-and-play piece that can deepen a roster fast.
