​The Los Angeles Dodgers have added another intriguing arm to their pitching pipeline, signing former UCLA left-hander Ian May as an undrafted free agent following the 2026 MLB Draft.May arrives after playing a key role on a Bruins team that was ranked No. 1 in the nation for the entirety of the 2026 season. Transitioning into a full-time bullpen role, he became one of UCLA’s most dependable relievers and finished the year with a 2.08 ERA over 26 appearances.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAcross 39.0 innings, May struck out 47 batters while allowing just nine earned runs. Opponents managed only a .189 batting average against him and produced just six extra-base hits all season, illustrating his ability to consistently limit hard contact.The left-hander found his rhythm early and never looked back.May opened the season with a pair of strong multi-inning outings against UC San Diego before settling into a dominant stretch in the middle of the year. From March 13-27, he posted six consecutive scoreless appearances, establishing himself as one of UCLA’s most trusted late-inning options.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAgainst Sacramento State on April 24, May struck out four batters over 2.2 scoreless innings.

His sophomore campaign in 2023 was particularly impressive, as he opened the season with 16 consecutive scoreless innings, including an eight-inning gem against Houston in which he struck out seven.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat season was cut short by an elbow injury that ultimately required UCL surgery.He returned to the mound in 2024 before transferring to UCLA, initially serving as both a starter and reliever in 2025. During his first season with the Bruins, he appeared in 27 games, including 12 starts, earning eight victories while helping UCLA reach the NCAA Tournament.Now healthy and coming off the strongest season of his collegiate career, May gives the Dodgers another experienced left-handed pitcher with proven swing-and-miss ability.His success in high-leverage relief situations for one of the nation’s premier college programs makes him an intriguing developmental arm as he begins his professional career.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementDon’t miss out on our ROUNDTABLE community and the latest news!It’s completely free to join.
