Arkansas State’s young righty with Texas pedigree and flashes of swing-and-miss stuff
In the 2026 season, Houston Tomlinson entered Arkansas State as a redshirt freshman right-hander who already showed strikeout ability, including a 2.84 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 19 innings in his freshman year at Texas A&M and early Arkansas State usage in relief and spot starts. His profile screams upside: Texas prep pedigree, a power-armed righty frame, and enough bat-missing to intrigue a staff hunting development. The catch? His 2026 Arkansas State results were uneven, so he looks more like a high-ceiling project than an instant plug-and-play ace—worth a look if your team wants arm talent and patience.
