Big-bodied lefty with a heavy arm, but still looking for cleaner results
Pelzman, a left-handed pitcher for UC San Diego, brings a pro-style frame at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds and showed a power-lefty look as a freshman in the 2025 season, when he worked mostly out of the bullpen across 8 appearances. His 2025 stat line was rough—17.05 ERA in 6.1 innings with a .280 opponent average—but he still stands out because evaluators have liked his upside, and Perfect Game once tagged him as a high-potential arm. The fit is about projection: if your team wants a developmental LHP with size, arm strength, and room to grow, he’s interesting; if you need immediate reliability, the résumé is still a work in progress.
