Foertsch Quietly Became Omaha’s Most Reliable Friday-Man-Type Arm
Tanner Foertsch has turned into a steady, high-upside righty for Omaha, showing real growth in the 2026 season with a 5.29 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 64.2 innings after posting a 4.95 ERA with 40 strikeouts in 40.0 innings in 2025. He’s not flashy—at 5-foot-9, he wins with competitiveness, pitchability, and the ability to stack quality outings, including a seven-inning, three-hit shutout gem in March 2026. The big appeal: he competes, handles the assignment, and has already earned two-time All-Summit League recognition.
