Raymond Ladd is giving Radford a legit frontline arm in 2026
Raymond Ladd has been one of Radford’s most important pitchers in the 2026 season, flashing a power right arm, big workload, and bat-missing stuff after his 2025 season was cut short by injury. The 6-6 redshirt sophomore earned a Big South weekly honor after a six-inning, seven-strikeout outing against VMI, and his 2026 line included 4.68 ERA with 57 strikeouts in 59.2 innings. He looks like the kind of durable, physical starter who can anchor a staff, especially if you want upside, strikeouts, and room to keep climbing.
