David Pengel brings premium Connecticut pedigree and real day-one outfield upside
In 2026, David Pengel enters Northeastern as the No. 1-ranked outfielder from Connecticut in the 2025 class, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound right-handed hitter with a reputation for five-tool athleticism, speed, and emerging power. He was also a Connecticut All-State selection, a Deep South Perfect Game Tournament MVP, and a high-school captain, which points to competitiveness and makeup as much as raw tools. If you want an upside play with starting-caliber traits and a strong competitive edge, Pengel is exactly the kind of player worth paying attention to.
