Colin Linder is back on the mound after redshirting 2025 while recovering from arm surgery. Before arriving in Tempe, he logged 16 appearances at Northwest Florida State with a 3.79 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 35.2 innings.

A freshman outfielder from Reno, Jaxsyn Durst arrives in Tempe with the kind of profile that tends to age well in the Big‑12. A 2024 Northern 5A All‑League selection and finalist for Northern Nevada Player of the Year, he finished high school as a top‑10 outfielder in the state and a top‑500 national prospect. He also showed well on the summer circuit, earning a spot in the NNBCA Underclass All‑Star Game. It's still early in his Sun Devil career, but the tools and competitiveness are there for him to grow into a meaningful role in the years ahead.

Landon Hairston has been hitting like a video‑game create‑a-player: a .468 average with a 1.544 OPS and 15 home runs in 28 games is production that almost never shows up in real life. These numbers aren't just unbelievable, they're the kind of once‑in‑a‑lifetime statistics that makes you double‑check the stat sheet to be sure it isn’t a typo. We are witnessing something special for Sun Devil baseball in 2026.

Beckett Zavorek has settled in as a reliable infield presence, showing the same quick transfer and clean defensive instincts that defined his Bullard High days. He’s already stacked a pair of multi‑hit games this season and continues to put together competitive at‑bats.

Redshirt sophomore catcher Brody Briggs gets another look at TCU this weekend, a year after he stunned them in Fort Worth with his first two collegiate homers — a three‑run shot and a grand slam out of the nine‑hole for seven RBIs in the 12–11 win. A quiet, steady presence behind the plate since then, he’s back at Muni with another chance to make noise against the Horned Frogs.
