Texas Southern’s steady righty with real Friday-night poise
In the 2026 season, Joshua Peña has emerged as a reliable starter for Texas Southern, logging quality outings like 6.0 innings of three-hit ball against Jackson State and a 6-inning, 5-strikeout performance against Alabama A&M while earning wins over SWAC opponents[4][6][9]. His calling card is command and competitiveness: he works deep enough to give TSU length, keeps damage manageable, and has been part of a rotation that helped the Tigers stay near the top of the league race[13]. If you want a durable, strike-throwing RHP with some Friday-night calm, he fits the bill.
