2.48 ERA, 78 SO Freshman RHP with Elite Control and Gatorade AZ POY Pedigree
Landon Hood, the 6'3" 200-lb RHP for Gonzaga, delivered a stellar 2026 freshman season with a 2.48 ERA, 78 strikeouts, and a historic .162 opponent batting average (second-best in school history). His differentiators include elite pitchability (78 Ks vs. 21 walks), a 94-95 mph fastball touching 97, and the intensity of a 2024-25 Gatorade Arizona Baseball Player of the Year who led Canyon View to the state championship. With no reported injury history and a personality driven by competitive excellence, Hood is a perfect fit for teams needing a high-intensity, low-walk starter who can dominate early innings and thrive in pressure tournaments like the WCC.
