Saturday starter who gives Oregon innings, strikeouts, and backbone
In the 2026 season, Oregon right-hander Collin Clarke was a trusted weekend starter, opening as the Ducks’ Saturday arm and delivering a 6-3 record, a 4.92 ERA, 77 strikeouts, and only 20 walks across 78.2 innings. His calling card is durability and strike-throwing: he works deep into games, has real bat-missing ability, and showed he can handle high-leverage Big Ten weekends. He’s a sturdy, competitive fit for teams wanting a polished college starter with room to sharpen run prevention.
