Jake Collier brings a high-usage lefty arm and real two-way upside to Missouri State
A freshman redshirt at Missouri State in the 2026 season, Jake Collier arrives with a strong prep résumé: as a senior in 2025 he went 6-0 with a 1.16 ERA and 83 strikeouts in 42.1 innings, and Missouri State noted his fastball plays at 87-90 with a sharp slider. What makes him interesting is the blend of pitchability, strikeout production, and athletic two-way background, plus the toughness to handle big innings. If your team wants a competitive left-hander with upside and room to grow, he’s a smart watchlist name.
