Freshman lefty Chase Brandt is Wagner’s high-upside arm to watch
Chase Brandt entered Wagner’s 2026 rotation as a freshman left-hander and was tagged by the program as the NEC’s No. 2 MLB Draft prospect for the Class of 2028, a strong sign that the Seahawks see real long-term ceiling here. In his early 2026 action, he earned a weekend starting nod at Virginia, giving Wagner a young, trusted southpaw in a tough road environment. The fit is obvious: left-handed, starter-profile, and clearly viewed internally as a premium prospect who can grow into a difference-maker if his stuff and command keep trending up.
