Jake Chadwell is a sneaky bullpen weapon with starter upside for Longwood
In the 2025 season, Jake Chadwell showed real growth for Longwood: he made 16 appearances with four starts, posted a 1-2 record and a 14.48 ERA over 23 innings, but flashed his best self on March 12 with a five-inning, seven-strikeout win over UMass Lowell. Coaches described him as developing a changeup and becoming a true three-pitch arm, which matters because it gives him better answers against lefties and a higher ceiling than a pure fastball-slider reliever. In 2026, his role shrank and results were rougher, but the arm talent and pitch-development story still make him an intriguing fit if you want upside and competitiveness.
