Ryan Brennecke is a lefty with a live arm and strikeout upside
Brennecke brings a pro-style left-handed profile to Wake Forest: a fastball that has been tracked up to 93 mph, a usable breaking-ball mix, and enough deception to miss bats when his command is right. In 2026, he has worked mostly in relief and shown swing-and-miss stuff, though the early results have been uneven, with 7 strikeouts and 8 walks in 4.1 innings. That makes him intriguing for teams that value upside and pitchability, but he still needs sharper strike-throwing to be a reliable fit.
