Julien Peissel brings proven strike-throwing upside to NC State's rotation
In the 2024 season at UNC Greensboro, Peissel made 14 starts, went 4-2, logged 74.2 innings, and led the Spartans with 64 strikeouts while posting a 4.70 ERA — a solid, workhorse profile for NC State. The big differentiator is his ability to carry a starter’s load and miss bats without being overpowering; recruiting reports listed him around 90 mph on the fastball, with enough strike-throwing and innings-eating value to matter. He looks like a dependable right-hander who can stabilize a staff and compete for meaningful innings.
