Matt Ludeman’s arm is flashing real upside for Pacific
In the 2026 season, Matt Ludeman appeared in 10 games as a freshman for Pacific and logged a standout relief outing with a career-high five strikeouts in two innings against Cal, hinting at a power arm that can miss bats.[1][3][7] His high-school resume backs it up too: he went 6-2 with a 1.35 ERA and 83 strikeouts in 52.1 innings, so the profile is simple and appealing — size, strike-throwing potential, and swing-and-miss stuff. If your team wants a big righty with early college polish and room to grow, he’s worth a close look.[2][7]
