Big-bodied Northeastern bullpen weapon who thrived under pressure in 2026
Andrew Wertz emerged in the 2026 season as a heavy, right-handed reliever for Northeastern, posting a 2-2 record with a 3.46 ERA, 43 strikeouts, 13 walks, and 6 saves across 41.2 innings, then turning into the Huskies’ postseason ace-in-relief by allowing no hits in 3.1 CAA Tournament innings and earning Most Outstanding Player honors. He’s a good fit if your team wants a calm, leverage-tested arm with a starter’s frame (6-foot-3, 230 pounds) who can handle the late innings, miss bats, and stay nasty when the lights get brighter.
