Tate Collins brings a live right arm and SEC-sized upside to Arkansas State
In the 2026 season, Tate Collins has been a fresh arm in Arkansas State’s bullpen mix after transferring from Central Arkansas, where he logged 8.1 relief innings with 6 strikeouts and only 6 hits allowed across six appearances. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound righty stands out for size, fastball-driven upside, and reliever profile; he’s the kind of pitcher who can give a staff innings without looking overwhelmed. The trade-off is consistency, as his early 2025 outing showed command can be the swing skill, but the raw arm talent makes him an intriguing fit for a staff that wants power and projection.
