Houston’s strike-throwing righty with big-game poise
In the 2025 season, Luzardo gave Houston a valuable mix of starter flexibility and command, posting a 2-2 record with 19 strikeouts in 23 innings across 13 appearances and five starts, while earning All-Silver Glove Series Pitcher honors.[1][2] The separator is the profile: he attacks the zone, rarely hands out free passes, and has shown he can handle pressure spots, including a career-best 5.1-inning start against Rice with no-hit stuff into the sixth.[2][6] He looks like a fit for a staff that wants a composed, low-walk right-hander who can start or relieve without blinking.[1][2]
