Yeager was a bullpen weapon for Oregon State in 2026
Isaac Yeager entered 2026 as a transfer from Washington and quickly became one of Oregon State’s most trusted late-inning arms, posting a 6-2 record, a 2.04 ERA, 49 strikeouts, and just 11 walks in 39 2/3 innings while holding hitters to a .184 average in the 2026 season[1][7][15]. The big selling points are obvious: a power righty at 6-foot-6 with starter-like command for a reliever, a swing-and-miss slider, and enough poise that Oregon State put him on the preseason Stopper of the Year watch list and NCBWA preseason All-America teams[2][9][14][15]. He was drafted by the White Sox in the 14th round of the 2026 MLB Draft, which says plenty about the industry view: this is a high-leverage arm with real stuff and polish[1][3].
