Justin Eckrote gives New Haven a live-armed righty with early swing-and-miss upside
In the 2026 season, Justin Eckrote has shown flashes of effectiveness for New Haven, including a scoreless relief inning against Missouri with one strikeout and a 1 1/3-inning appearance against Le Moyne where he was tagged for one earned run and two walks. He’s a 6-foot-2 freshman right-hander from Berlin, Conn., and the early read is simple: he has enough arm talent to miss bats, but his command is still settling in. That profile makes him intriguing if you want upside and development—very “future weapon,” not yet a finished product.
