Brady Estes is already flashing frontline upside for Cal Poly
The 2026 freshman lefty has wasted no time making noise for Cal Poly, pairing a sturdy 6-foot-3, 205-pound frame with strikeout stuff that has shown up in both relief and spot starts. In the 2026 season, Cal Poly notes and game reports credit him with low-2.00s-to-mid-1.00s ERA stretches, including a 10-strikeout outing vs. Pepperdine and a 4-inning, 10-K debut-type statement that hinted at real swing-and-miss upside. The edge: he attacks hitters, competes with poise, and already looks like a leverage arm with starter traits.
