NC State baseball’s first transfer portal pitcher, Wright State LHP Chet Lax, joins Tuffy Talk for his first interview as a Wolfpack. Chris Hart’s first pitcher commit in the transfer portal, Chet was dominant against SEC competition before arriving in Raleigh, seven shutout innings against Tennessee in a 6-0 Wright State win, and one run allowed in four innings against Georgia, a team that went to the College World Series.
Greg sits down with Chet to talk through how NC State got on his radar through his Wright State coach who played at NC State, what sold him on the visit with Coach Hart and pitching coach Clint Chrysler, what it felt like to pitch against Georgia and Tennessee as a Horizon League arm, his relationship with Hunter Warren going back three years as roommates, his summer on the Cape Cod League with the Harwich Mariners, what he’s working on going into the fall, his pitching strengths including his mound mentality and his changeup as his best pitch, and his personal goals heading into the 2027 NC State baseball season.
Plus a rapid fire segment, his favorite pitch to throw, karaoke song, cheat meal (Raising Cane’s), favorite baseball movie (Million Dollar Arm — a first for this show), and the one thing Wolfpack fans should know about him before he arrives.
