LSU right-handed pitcher Mavrick Rizy posted a farewell message on social media Tuesday, signaling his departure from the team.

Rizy, a sophomore from Fiskdale, Mass., emerged as a key bullpen arm for LSU over the last two seasons. Per SI.com:

Rizy made three postseason appearances to help bring LSU it's eighth naitonal championship in 2025, though he never pitched in the College World Series in Omaha.

In 2025, he threw 24.2 innings with a 4.74 ERA. He walked 19 and struck out 29 in a promising freshman campaign. He threw 58.5% of his pitches for strikes in 2025.

Rizy was a favorite to pick up high leverage innings in 2026, but struggled a lot with control as a sophomore.

His stats were relatively similar down the line, throwing 3.1 fewer innings and walking the same amount and striking out one fewer. Rizy posted a 4.22 ERA in 2026, an improvement from the previous year. He threw 55% of his pitches for strikes.

Thank you. But too many walks. The biggest problem for the pitching staff which appears to be in a restructuring mode

Pitchers may be thinking too much. Develop 3 pitches…. Fast ball, breaking ball and change-up.

He needs to work on his mechanics in the minor league for a while. Wish him well.

This is the kind of kid who should’ve gone in the draft out of high school. He brought zero value to LSU outside of potential and we suffered when he didn’t immediately realize it. He’ll take five years and a lot of luck to make anything out of baseball.

Give me a guy ready to compete today whose ceiling might not be so high but the floor is already set at a high level
