Nick Bonn is Cal Poly’s power closer built for late-game leverage
In 2026, Nick Bonn has emerged as Cal Poly’s high-octane RHP and a true pressure-relief weapon, earning national attention after recording a nation’s-best 16th save and being described as “built for the biggest moments.”[1] He stands out for elite velocity — Cal Poly noted he became the program’s first pitcher to reach 100 mph — plus the calm, closer profile that makes him valuable in tight games even when his prior-year numbers at Dallas Baptist were uneven.[5][6]
