Nick Newburn is Penn’s freshman righty with poise, power, and late-inning trust
Nick Newburn entered the 2026 season as a freshman right-hander and quickly earned meaningful innings for Penn, including a scoreless relief debut at Texas A&M and a save at Dartmouth, which tells you the Quakers trust him in pressure spots. In the 2026 season, he has been used as both a starter and late-game arm, a sign of versatility and mound confidence. His 6-foot-5, 235-pound frame, strike-throwing profile, and ability to handle high-leverage situations make him interesting for teams that value size, composure, and bullpen flexibility over pure flash.
