veteran Wagner lefty with strikeout flashes and low-mileage upside
In the 2026 season, Rucci is a senior left-handed pitcher for Wagner who has shown real bullpen utility: he’s 3-1 across three seasons, with 7.2 career innings and six strikeouts over 50 batters faced, and his first five career outings each included at least one K. Wagner’s 2025 notes say he logged two outings, allowing no hits but five runs, which hints at some volatility, while his profile suggests a bigger-bodied, deceptive southpaw who can miss bats in short bursts. He looks like a useful depth arm if your team wants a lefty with experience, strikeout feel, and room to sharpen command.
