Wake Forest’s Nate Whysong is a live-arm, high-upside righty with weekend trust
In the 2026 season, Nate Whysong emerged as a useful Wake Forest bullpen arm, including a clean two-inning finish against Davidson where he struck out three and allowed one hit. The 6-foot-2, right-handed junior brings power stuff, competitiveness, and enough late-game trust that Wake Forest has already turned to him in leverage spots. He still looks like a pitcher refining command rather than a finished product, which is the tradeoff: real upside, some volatility, and a profile that fits a staff willing to develop. If your team wants strike-throwing polish, maybe wait; if it wants a tough, live righty with room to grow, pay attention.
