Trey Usey brings swingman versatility and strike-throwing poise to New Orleans
In the 2026 season, Trey Usey has been a valuable arm for the Privateers, working multiple roles with a right-handed, 6-foot-1 frame and a reputation for handling innings rather than chasing radar-gun headlines.[1][4][6] He’s shown real bat-missing ability in stretches — including a 2024 outing with 3.2 scoreless innings and five strikeouts against Memphis — and New Orleans has repeatedly leaned on him as a starter, reliever, and late-game stabilizer.[11][6] He fits best for a staff that values versatility, composure, and durability over pure flash.[4][6]
