Alec Ammerman is a strike-throwing redshirt freshman with starter upside for SIU
In the 2026 season, Southern Illinois RHP Alec Ammerman logged 27.1 innings over 12 appearances and 4 starts, posting a 7.90 ERA with 26 strikeouts and 19 walks; his best outing came in late March when he spun 7 scoreless innings with 6 Ks and just 1 walk, showing he can miss bats and handle a starter’s workload. He’s a compact 5-foot-10 righty with a history of good strikeout flashes, but command consistency is the swing skill. If your team values competitive, innings-eating arms with some room to sharpen, he’s worth a look.
