Auden Pankonin brings power upside and mid-90s heat to Nebraska’s bullpen
Auden Pankonin entered Nebraska in 2026 as a highly regarded right-hander, ranked by Nebraska as the No. 75 RHP nationally and the No. 265 overall prospect in his class, with a 6-4 frame and a fastball that has drawn mid-90s reports. He’s the kind of arm that can change a game fast: heavy velocity, easy projection, and the mentality to attack hitters, though his early college outings show he’s still settling in and tightening command. If your team values upside, stuff, and future leverage-inning potential, he’s absolutely worth the watch.
