Ryan Rushing brings lefty depth and strikeout juice to FGCU’s staff
In the 2026 season, Ryan Rushing has been a useful multi-inning option for Florida Gulf Coast, posting a 4.34 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 18.2 innings and earning a 3-1 record. He flashes swing-and-miss ability and showed real poise in high-leverage spots, including a career-high six-strikeout outing against top-seeded North Florida in the ASUN Tournament. The fit is simple: if you want a competitive left-hander who can miss bats, handle pressure, and give you innings, he’s intriguing.
