A 6'2" right-hander with early-season strike-throwing upside for Sac State
Sandberg, a 2026 sophomore right-handed pitcher for Sacramento State, has shown the traits coaches love in a developing arm: size, a starter’s frame, and a pitch mix built around a fastball, curve, and cutter from his high-school profile. His 2026 usage suggests he’s in the mix as a bullpen piece, with multiple short outings and at least one clean inning, but also some early volatility as he’s been hit around in limited work. The appeal is upside and projectability; the fit is better for a staff that can develop raw tools than for a team needing instant, polished dominance.
