2025 Pitching Staff

[bulldogcountry1]

This a list of returning roster and portal pitchers. I didn't include HS recruits because I don?t know anything about them, and any contribution from them will just be a bonus. Correct me if I have the status of any of these guy wrong or if I am missing someone.


Current Roster:

Stevens - Will he continue to pitch? The way the staff put regularly put him in high pressure situations tells me they are serious about trying to make it work.

Jackson McKenzie - Portal?

Pico - We have to be counting on him to be a weekend starter.

Loftin - The best kept secret in MSU baseball history. Either a weekend starter of ghost.

Grant - Coming off surgery. Should compete for a weekend spot.

Siary - Kind of hoped he would make a jump this past season, but he didn't. Is he just that guy or is there more potential there.

Simmons - 17 Ks in 9 IP this summer. It would be a great boost if he could stay healthy and be our '25 Khal.

Passeau - Decent JUCO numbers, but didn't pitch in '24. Was he injured?

Black - He really started to put it together at the end of the season and is having a good summer.

Haley - Big guy who only pitched 2 innings in '24.

Ligon - Another Loftin? He struggled with command, but his BA against was only .202. Can he put it together?

*Dotson - Pitched 12 innings in '24


Transfer Portal:

Jacob Pruitt - Good season on a good team. Should compete for a starting spot.

Chase Hungate - Good season on a good team. Looks like he's a bullpen guy.


As I went through this, I started to feel batter about next season. We have some good pieces who can battle to fill in for the losses of Khal an Lo. We just seem to have had a tough time with injuries the last few seasons. I know some of it is "bad luck", but I just think we are due to have a healthier season. Parker is going to work some magic, and I hope his philosophy and evaluation will start to give us a healthier pitching staff.
