Gabe Stout brings veteran late-inning bite to NKU’s bullpen
In the 2026 season, Northern Kentucky right-hander Gabe Stout has been a versatile high-leverage arm, logging 32 innings over 26 appearances with a 2-2 record, three saves, and 24 strikeouts. His best trait is trust: NKU has used him to close games, and he’s delivered key shutdown moments, including a save against South Carolina and scoreless work in conference wins. The ERA is bumpy, but the usage tells the story — this is a competitive, experienced reliever who can handle pressure and shorten games.
