Christian Forniss is giving Northwestern a left-handed spark
In the 2025 season, Forniss emerged as a valuable young LHP for Northwestern, showing starter-like poise with a run of long outings, a first collegiate save, and multiple quality stretches that included 5.0 no-hit innings before the leash came off. He looks the part of a durable, attack-the-zone pitcher with enough stuff to miss bats, but the real selling point is his composure and versatility: starter, reliever, or late-game stopper. For a staff that needs competitive innings, he’s a sneaky good fit.
