Carter Wachtel brings proven strikeout stuff and Buckeye depth in the circle
Carter Wachtel is a right-handed Ohio State pitcher from Wooster, Ohio who arrived with a big-game résumé: she was an All-Ohio ace at Triway, helped win the 2022 state title, and was widely regarded as one of the nation’s top prep pitchers. In limited 2026 Ohio State action, she logged two relief innings, struck out one, and was tagged for four earned runs, so she looks more like a developmental depth piece than an immediate frontline arm. Her appeal is clear, though—command, competitive poise, and a history of missing bats.
