Kyle Percival is UNC’s veteran lefty steadiness with bite
In the 2026 season, Kyle Percival returned from a season-ending injury and immediately gave North Carolina a dependable veteran arm, tossing 4.0 shutout innings with two strikeouts in his first outing back. The 6-5, 220-pound left-hander gives the Tar Heels length, poise, and matchup value, and his earlier college track record showed real run prevention: a 2.42 ERA in 2024 across 22.1 innings with a 4-0 record. If you want a big-bodied LHP who can settle games down and compete without much drama, he’s your guy.
