Moss Named to National Pitcher of the Year Watch List
March 11, 2026 | Baseball
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. โ Sophomore right-hander Wylan Moss has been named to the National Pitcher of the Year Award Watch List, the College Baseball Foundation announced Wednesday morning.
ย
Moss has been nothing short of dominant to open the 2026 campaign, allowing just one earned run across 15.0 innings while piling up 24 strikeouts against a single walk. He owns a 0.60 ERA, is holding opponents to a .128 average, and has punched out more than half the hitters he's faced. His 24.0 strikeout-to-walk ratio ranks eighth nationally.
ย
His signature outing came in UCLA's win over No. 7 TCU, where he delivered four scoreless innings to earn the save and recorded a career-high 10 strikeouts, including an astonishing nine straight to end the game, with eight swinging.
