Lierman’s lefty mix is quietly giving Washington real innings
In the 2026 season, freshman LHP Liam Lierman has emerged as a useful multi-inning arm for Washington, highlighted by a 5.1-inning gem against No. 9 Oregon State and a 3.0-scoreless-inning relief outing against Ohio State. He’s not just living on raw stuff; he’s getting outs with weak contact, ground balls, and poise after early trouble, which is a great sign for a young arm. The only caution flag is command consistency, but the Huskies clearly trust his competitiveness and ability to steady games.
