Sam Bonilla brings veteran bullpen toughness and a nasty strikeout flash for Wagner
In the 2026 season, Sam Bonilla has been a high-leverage right-handed reliever for Wagner, throwing 8.0 innings across nine appearances with seven strikeouts, including a dominant 3.0-scoreless-inning, five-strikeout gem at Fordham. Wagner also notes that he returned in 2026 after logging 16.1 innings in 2025 with 15 strikeouts, though that season came with a rough 10.47 ERA, so the fit here is a “short leash, upside arm” profile: experienced, physical at 6'2"/205, and capable of missing bats when his command is on.
