Johnny Nuanez has been a steady, strike-throwing weekend arm for Wichita State
In the 2026 season, Johnny Nuanez emerged as a reliable right-hander for Wichita State, posting a 6-2 record with a 2.56 ERA, 58 strikeouts, and just 20 walks in 56.1 innings while holding hitters to a .210 average. He’s the kind of arm coaches love: 6-foot-3, right-handed, composed, and efficient, with multiple starts of five-plus innings and several outings where he missed bats without giving away free passes. He also transferred in from Grossmont, where he showed similar strike-throwing traits, so the profile says “immediate-fit starter” rather than “project.”
