Oakland’s freshman right-hander with starter upside
In the 2026 season, Josh Rosenblitt emerged as a versatile freshman RHP for Oakland, moving from relief into starts and earning All-Freshman honors after striking out 17 batters while working to a 1-4 record and taking on tougher innings as the year went on. He flashed real swing-and-miss upside with a six-strikeout, career-high six-inning outing against Wright State and notched his first career win versus Toledo. The fit? A developmental arm with poise, starter traits, and room to grow—exactly the kind of pitcher worth betting on if you want upside over polish.
