Scott Rienguette brings power stuff and swing-and-miss upside to Washington State’s bullpen
Rienguette is a right-handed reliever whose appeal is built on raw strikeout ability, highlighted by a 2026 line of 32 strikeouts in 30.2 innings and a fastball that has reached the mid-90s, giving him genuine bullpen upside even as results have been uneven[1][10]. His curveball has shown big spin and his history includes strong strikeout production in junior college, but the profile also comes with command volatility and contact damage that explain the higher ERA; that makes him more of a high-upside fit than a finished, plug-and-play late-inning answer[1][2][4].
