Veteran WSU reliever back on the mound after injury-shortened 2025
In the 2025 season, Kaden Wickersham was limited to one appearance because of injury, but Washington State brought him back in 2026 as a senior bullpen piece after he logged 22 outings in 2024 with a 5.06 ERA, 23 strikeouts, one save, and a win in 32 innings. He’s a low-drama, strike-throwing reliever with experience in leverage spots, and the Cougars trusted him early in 2026 against Alabama and Cal Poly. If you want an experienced right-hander who can steady a bullpen, he’s worth a look; if you need a power arm with elite miss-bat stuff, this is more of a dependable connector than a headline act.
