Anthony Pesci is a big, projectable Alabama righty with clean early results
In the 2026 season, Anthony Pesci has been a quiet but effective arm for Alabama: 5.2 scoreless innings over five appearances with six strikeouts and four walks, including a career-high 2.1-inning outing against Alabama State and multiple two-strikeout relief bursts. At 6-foot-4 with a long, projectable frame, he fits the classic upside-righty mold, and his appeal is more about what’s coming than what’s already finished—he already showed strikeout ability as a freshman and has a “dream school” fit at Alabama, which hints at real buy-in and competitiveness. Good depth piece now, possible pop later.
