JM Harduvel is a towering Cal arm still waiting for his breakout inning
A 6-foot-6 right-hander from Mater Dei, JM Harduvel enters 2026 as a redshirt sophomore with plenty of intrigue but no college game action yet at Cal, so the big question is ceiling over box-score output. His appeal is pure projection: size, right-handed power, and a fresh arm profile that could play up if the delivery and command sharpen. If a staff wants upside and patience, he’s a smart fit; if it needs immediate innings, he’s still more “developmental lottery ticket” than finished product.
