Ross Norman gives Coastal Carolina a big-bodied starter with real rotation upside
In the 2026 season, Ross Norman was a 6-foot-7 right-hander who stepped straight into Coastal Carolina’s weekend rotation, made 16 starts, and finished 6-7 with a 6.46 ERA over 78.0 innings; he also earned a fifth-weekend win at East Carolina with an 8-inning, 1-run gem and was selected in the 11th round of the 2026 MLB Draft by Baltimore.[1][2][5] The appeal is the frame, starter experience, and enough strike-throwing to survive in a power conference look, but the ERA suggests he’s more “projectable depth starter” than finished product right now—good fit if your team wants size, innings, and upside with some rough edges still to sand down.[1][10][12]
