Mike Erspamer is flashing late-inning bite for Stanford
The Stanford lefty has quickly shown he can miss bats in leverage spots, including a dominant college debut in 2026 with 2 scoreless innings and 5 strikeouts against Arizona, plus a strong summer run for Eau Claire featuring a 10-strikeout, 6.2-inning shutout. Erspamer’s appeal is simple: fastball-life, swing-and-miss ability, and a fearless relief mentality that plays in tight games. At San Clemente, he was already praised as one of the best pitchers in program history, and that intensity should make him a fit for teams wanting a high-upside, attack-the-zone arm.
