Mizzou freshman Luke Sullivan flashes strike-throwing polish and early poise on the mound
Luke Sullivan’s freshman season at Missouri showed why he’s intriguing: in 27.1 innings in 2026, he posted a 5.93 ERA with 22 strikeouts and only seven walks, and he opened with nine scoreless innings across his first four outings. The standout traits are feel for pitching and command—he worked a clean, easy fastball, mixed a tight slider with a fading changeup, and handled both starts and relief. If you want a developing right-hander with strikes, composure, and starter upside, he’s a good fit.
