Carter DeGondea gives Georgia Southern a battle-tested lefty with swing-and-miss upside
In the 2026 season, Carter DeGondea has worked as a key Georgia Southern left-hander with flashes of real dominance, including a 5.0-inning, 7-strikeout shutout gem against Troy and a season line cited at 4-1 with a 3.91 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 50.2 innings entering mid-February. He’s a 6-1, 205-pound reliever/spot starter type who competes hard, misses bats, and can settle a game when his command is synced; the tradeoff is some volatility, as his 2026 results also included a few rough outings. Good fit if a staff wants a tough, experienced southpaw with upside and mound presence.
