Michigan State’s durable arm is trending as a swingman with starter upside
In the 2026 season, Logan Pikur worked as a versatile right-hander for Michigan State, making 23 appearances with four starts and striking out 36 batters in 50.0 innings, which shows real swing-and-miss ability even as the 6.48 ERA reflects inconsistency. He’s a big-bodied 6-4, 200-pound arm who has handled both relief and rotation work, and he earned summer-league All-Star recognition after flashing a sharp 1.85 ERA in Northwoods League play. The hook here is his durability, strike-throwing and competitive toughness; the question is whether his command and run prevention can catch up to the stuff.
