Missouri’s steady lefty with SEC-tested upside
In the 2026 season, Dane Bjorn gave Missouri a useful multi-inning left-handed option, posting a 4.41 ERA with 18 strikeouts and 11 walks over 16.1 innings while making 11 appearances, including one start. He brings a live arm, a track record as a highly regarded prep LHP, and the confidence of having been part of Tennessee’s 2024 College World Series title team. The draw here is projection: strike-throwing needs tightening, but the stuff and competitive profile suggest a pitcher who can help if you value a tough southpaw with room to grow.
