Ben Waterman is giving Lafayette real Friday-night-start upside
In the 2026 season, Lafayette junior RHP Ben Waterman has shown real swing-and-miss stuff and stamina, including a 7.0-inning, six-strikeout win over Holy Cross and a near no-hit run against Army before late damage spoiled the gem.[11][10] He’s also handled heavy workloads with mixed results, which tells you the arm talent is there, but consistency and run prevention still need tightening up.[2][9] If you want a durable right-hander with starter traits and flashes of dominance, he’s worth a serious look.
