Evan Hoeckele is St. John’s late-inning weapon with postseason poise
In the 2026 season, Evan Hoeckele emerged as one of St. John’s most dependable arms, posting a 3.60 ERA with a team-high six saves, 37 strikeouts in 30.0 innings, and a .224 opponent batting average in BIG EAST play. He’s a 6-foot-3 right-hander who brings strike-throwing, swing-and-miss stuff, and real competitive grit—he closed out games, handled high-leverage innings, and even retired all three batters he faced in an NCAA Super Regional. If your team wants a tough, proven bullpen arm who shows up when the stage gets loud, he’s the kind you want on the hill.
