Oklahoma’s hard-nosed lefty who punches above his innings
In the 2026 season, Trent Collier was a useful Oklahoma bullpen weapon and occasional starter, posting a 3.75-3.80 ERA across 23.2-24.0 innings with 28-29 strikeouts and a strong strike-throwing profile. What stands out is the bat-missing: he has shown he can get swing-and-miss stuff when he’s on, including a scoreless postseason outing with two strikeouts against Georgia Tech, plus a competitive, attack-the-zone approach that Oklahoma trusted in big spots. He’s the kind of left-hander coaches like to deploy when they want toughness, leverage, and a chance to change the matchup.
