Arkansas State’s Houston Tomlinson brings live-arm upside, but the college résumé is still a blank slate
Tomlinson is a 6-foot-1 right-hander who arrived at Arkansas State after not appearing in a game for Texas A&M as a freshman in 2025, so the most useful evaluation right now is projection rather than proven college production. His summer work suggests swing-and-miss potential: in 2025 he logged 15 strikeouts in 22.1 amateur innings with a 3.22 ERA, though command was inconsistent at times. For a staff, he looks like a developmental arm with size, power, and room to grow—more intriguing for upside than for immediate certainty.
