Gunnar Nichols is Washington’s steady senior arm with swing-and-miss upside
In the 2026 season, Washington right-hander Gunnar Nichols has been a dependable senior anchor, working 46.2 innings with a 3-3 record, 5.59 ERA, 49 strikeouts, and a .191 opponent batting average in Huskies starter reports. He’s a long, experienced 6-foot-4 pitcher who can miss bats, showed it with a 10-strikeout gem against San Diego State, and has also delivered big relief work in wins like the upset of No. 1 UCLA. If you want a durable strike-thrower with competitive edge and late-season value, he’s a fit.
