Reid Fagerstrom is Mercer’s high-leverage, comeback-from-injury bullpen weapon
In the 2026 season, Reid Fagerstrom has looked like a trusted late-inning arm for Mercer, posting a 2.25 ERA across 10 appearances by March 21 and then helping close out key wins with strikeout-heavy relief work, including five punchouts in 1.2 scoreless innings against Wofford. The big differentiator here is resilience: he missed most of 2024 and all of 2025 with injury, yet returned with veteran composure, a starter’s experience, and the kind of intensity that can swing tight conference games. If your team wants a durable, battle-tested righty who can attack in pressure spots, he’s very interesting.
