Brendan Yagesh is giving Virginia Tech a veteran lefty with bite
In the 2026 season, Brendan Yagesh has emerged as a usable ACC arm for Virginia Tech, highlighted by a seven-scoreless-inning gem against Duke and a heavy workload that shows the staff trusts him in big spots.[9][10] He profiles as a 6-foot-4, left-handed pitcher with starter experience, a fastball that can live in the high 80s, and a breaking ball that flashes swing-and-miss quality.[3][4] The caution flag is command and consistency—his 2025 Virginia Tech stint was limited by injury, so the fit is best for teams valuing toughness, experience, and a deceptive lefty look.[3][4]
