Nick Harnisch’s 2026 jump: a steadier arm with real strikeout flashes for Holy Cross
In the 2026 season, Holy Cross right-hander Nick Harnisch has shown improvement in a relief role, posting a 4.2-inning outing with one run, one walk, and four strikeouts against Portland, a sign his stuff can play when he’s in the zone. He’s a durable, attack-minded arm who can miss bats, and that matters for a Crusaders staff looking for dependable innings. He also has some volatility in his track record, so he profiles best as a useful fit for a team that values strike-throwing upside and bullpen flexibility.
