Austin Weiss brings sneaky-deceptive lefty juice to Maryland’s bullpen
Austin Weiss, a 2026 freshman left-hander for Maryland, entered college with top-tier prep credentials and was named to Perfect Game’s preseason Top 100 freshmen list; he also drew praise for a low-slot delivery that creates cross-body deception and helps his 91-94 mph fastball play up, with a developing slider and changeup giving him real bat-missing upside. In his 2026 freshman season, he made six appearances and two starts, held hitters to a .179 average, and flashed strikeout ability against elite competition. If your team wants a tough, high-upside arm with MLB-style movement and sneaky menace, this kid fits the bill.
