Kade Parker is giving Louisiana Tech reliable veteran innings
In the 2026 season, Louisiana Tech right-hander Kade Parker has worked in nine appearances with one start, going 1-1 with a 6.63 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 12.2 innings, while his 2025 season showed the upside: a 4-1 record, 4.58 ERA, 30 strikeouts, and only nine walks across 39.1 innings. The big sell is his strike-throwing and swing-and-miss potential, plus the experience of a redshirt senior who has already proven he can handle multiple roles. He looks like a steady fit for a staff that wants mature, low-drama depth with a chance for sharper command to unlock more.
