Colin Fitzgerald gives Penn State a swing-and-miss arm with real ace traits
In the 2026 season, Colin Fitzgerald flashed high-end strikeout stuff at Penn State, including a career-high 12 Ks against Oregon and an eight-strikeout shutout start at Richmond, while also showing the volatility that comes with his profile. He’s a durable righty who has piled up 200-plus career innings and brings a power-flyer mix, but his 2026 run prevention was uneven, with command lapses and a few rough outings. If a staff wants a veteran competitor who can miss bats and take the ball on Friday, he’s intriguing—just not quite a finished product.
