6'9" Ethan Wendel gives Tarleton State a power arm with real Friday-night upside
In the 2026 season, Ethan Wendel emerged as a workhorse right-hander for Tarleton State, going 6-4 with a 5.95 ERA across 59.0 innings while helping the Texans win the WAC title and reach NCAA regional play. He’s a towering 6'9" arm with a starter’s usage pattern, and his appeal is the blend of size, durability, and experience in meaningful games. The swing skill is command consistency, but the profile says competitive, rotation-ready innings with room for more if the strike-throwing sharpens.
