Transfer lefty with strikeout upside and a midseason reset
In the 2026 season, Gage Burdick gave Lamar a puncher's chance on the mound, highlighted by a four-inning, one-hit start with six strikeouts against Tarleton State and a 2.2-inning, three-K outing against TCU, but his year was interrupted by jaw surgery and he later entered the transfer portal with two years of eligibility. He looks like a fit for teams wanting a competitive LHP who can miss bats, attack in bursts, and has shown enough mid-major success to project as a useful depth starter or impact reliever.
