Nolan Decker is a live-arm lefty with summer-league momentum
In the 2026 season, Eastern Illinois LHP Nolan Decker appeared in one game for the Panthers, logging 0.1 innings in relief, but his more telling track record came this summer with Kokomo in the Prospect League, where he posted a 3.60 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 25 innings and earned All-Star honors. He’s a left-handed pitcher with room to grow, and his best calling card is swing-and-miss stuff that translated well against summer competition. Add in a redshirt year at Troy and a strong high-school resume, and you’re looking at a developmental arm worth watching.
