Jack Brafa is Tulane’s steady, strike-throwing righty with starter upside
In the 2026 season, Jack Brafa gave Tulane a reliable power-arm look: 37.0 innings, a 3-0 record, and 33 strikeouts in 23 appearances, including five starts, while showing he can handle both bullpen duty and spot-starts.[1] At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, the senior RHP brings a sturdy frame, a solid strikeout-to-walk profile, and enough versatility to plug into different roles—exactly the kind of pitcher coaches love when the schedule gets messy.[1][8] The big question isn’t whether he can help; it’s how much higher the ceiling climbs if he sharpens consistency and misses a few more bats.[1][6]
