Ethan Plog brings loud stuff, but command is the whole story
In the 2026 season, LSU left-hander Ethan Plog showed real swing-and-miss ability in relief, including a stretch of scoreless outings early in the year and a mid-90s fastball with an unorthodox delivery that makes him a tough matchup when he’s on[1][7][8]. The catch: his season was derailed by shaky command, finishing with a team-high 22 appearances but a 9.98 ERA in 15.1 innings, 16 walks, and four hit batters, so he’s the kind of arm that can help a staff if the strike-throwing sharpens fast[1][7][9].
