Luke Sullivan is a strike-throwing freshman arm with early SEC poise
In the 2026 season, Missouri RHP Luke Sullivan has flashed real upside: he opened with 9.0 scoreless innings, struck out 9 without a walk, and later logged a 5.1-inning, one-hit, five-strikeout start against Arkansas-Pine Bluff before settling in as a high-contact, control-first right-hander with a team-best 0.44 WHIP early on. He’s not a pure velocity merchant — the appeal is his easy delivery, downhill angle, and command of a three-pitch mix, which is exactly why he looks like a fit for teams that value strike-throwers with starter traits and a little sneaky juice.
