Ethan Kleinschmit, a 6'3" 200-pound left-hander from Oregon State University, made a seamless transition from junior college All-American to starter in 2025, striking out 11.18 K/9 while holding hitters to a .194 batting average and establishing himself as a potential top college lefty in the 2026 draft. The southpaw operates with a polished three-pitch mix featuring a 90-93 T95 mph fastball with good tailing life and movement that generates weak contact, complemented by an upper-70s slider with solid spin and depth and a low-80s changeup thrown with above-average depth and feel. Kleinschmit's 61.2% first-pitch strike rate demonstrates his ability to fill the strike zone with all three offerings while keeping hitters off-balance, with his advanced feel for pitching and command compensating for stuff that won't overwhelm hitters. While his current arsenal is already effective, scouts wonder what an uptick in velocity might do for his profile as he adds strength, and there's room to add a cutter to give him another weapon. Kleinschmit has a solid starting pitcher's foundation with his pitch mix, strike-throwing ability (3.56 BB/9), and advanced feel, and if he finds more velocity this spring while maintaining his command and deception, he could emerge as one of the first college lefties drafted in July.
