Nate Kress is Bowling Green’s steady strike-thrower with frontline upside
In the 2026 season, Nate Kress emerged as one of Bowling Green’s most dependable arms, working in key starts and showing the kind of competitive bite coaches love: he’s a 6-foot-3 right-hander who can handle a starter’s workload, has already posted multiple wins, and has flashed swing-and-miss stuff with about a strikeout per inning before an injury interrupted his year. The big appeal is polish and poise more than pure velocity—he’s a local product who competes hard, fills the zone, and looks like a fit for teams needing a tough, reliable RHP rather than a flashy project.
