George Mason’s calm righty with late-inning bite
In the 2026 season, Brant Ertel has become a useful arm for George Mason, highlighted by a combined no-hitter against Lehigh on March 1, when he threw the final 3.0 innings for his first collegiate save; he later earned his first NCAA win on March 7 and has shown he can work in both relief and higher-leverage spots[1][3][11]. He’s not a radar-gun headline, but he brings poise, strike-throwing, and the kind of flexibility coaches love in a staff piece who can steady a game when things get wobbly[1][3][6].
