Nate Criswell brings loud stuff to Troy’s bullpen mix
In the 2026 season, Nate Criswell has worked 6.0 innings for Troy with a 4.50 ERA, 4 strikeouts and 5 walks, so the early read is: raw arm talent, still sharpening command[2]. Troy’s own staff described him as one of junior college baseball’s more elite arms on stuff alone, noting he can reach 96 mph with a strong slider[4]. At 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, he profiles as a power right-hander who can miss bats when he’s locating, and that upside makes him the kind of arm a staff can get excited about if it can harness the wildness[1][4].
