The big righty, who also played first base, was ranked by Perfect Game as the # 23 right-hander in the state in 2019, and # 68 prospect in the state overall. His fastball was clocked at 89 MPH back on October 18, 2018.




# 23 Nick Bruno
Right-Handed Pitcher
Redshirt Junior
6-3, 228 lbs
Charlotte, NC

Bruno enters his 3rd season with the Seahawks with 27 appearances and 2 starts under his belt for his career. After suffering an injury and redshirting his freshman season, Bruno began his career as a redshirt freshman in 2018. His numbers haven't been great: For his career, Bruno sports a 1-1 record, 8.90 ERA, 1 Save, and a .272 Batting Average Against.

However, the hard thrower does have 38 Ks over 31.0 innings. His potential has always underscored his usage, and as such, he should have a spot locked down in the middle relief for the 2020 Seahawks, with the hope that he can put together a quality, injury free season season. Should he make major strides, his low-mid 90s MPH velocity provides a high ceiling for late-inning work.
