After pitching to a 3.55 ERA over 76 innings as @SacStBaseball's Saturday starter last season, Ethan Lay (@ethanlay_14) will elevate to the Friday night role in 2026. Lay features a four-pitch mix and elite command of the strike zone (5% walk rate).

A 6-foot-2, 210-pound RHP with a heater up to 95 mph and a swing-and-miss slider, Baylor Sandberg (@BaylorSandberg) could be a difference maker for @SacStBaseball. "He struggled with command in his 10 appearances as a freshman, but a .188 BAA speaks to the quality of his stuff."

A draft risk last summer due to his big spring (.309/.357/.541, 13 HR, 52 RBIs) and strong performance in the @mlbdraftleague, Jakob Poturnak (@jakob_poturnak) is back for @SacStBaseball. The third baseman will likely be one of the most feared hitters in @WACsports in 2026.

JP SMITH II FOR 2️⃣🚀 His first professional homer travels 405 feet at 103 mph and ties things up in the sixth💣 Bot 7 | Mussels 4, Threshers 4
