NKU’s strike-throwing late-inning righty with sneaky value
In the 2026 season, Shawn Parnell has shown real bullpen utility for Northern Kentucky, picking up a save against Ohio with two scoreless innings and facing the minimum in that outing, though he also had some bumpy appearances early in the year. He looks like a classic low-slot, tough-righty profile: not flashy, but capable of giving you competitive innings, missing enough bats to matter, and handling leverage when he’s on. If your team wants a dependable reliever with some fight and bullpen versatility, he’s worth a hard look.
