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.
