Iowa’s Nick Heitman brings projectable arm talent and strikeout bite
Nick Heitman is a 6-foot-3 righty for Iowa whose calling card is upside: he was rated the No. 6 RHP in Indiana and a top-500 national prospect, and in high school he posted a 3.53 ERA with 62 strikeouts in 35 2/3 innings before an injury-shortened senior year. In the 2026 season, he made two pitching appearances for the Hawkeyes, striking out four in 1.2 innings, a tiny sample that still hints at bat-missing stuff. He fits teams that value projection, competitiveness, and a developing arm more than instant polish.
