the lefty with size, feel, and a sneaky power arm
Wyatt Novara is a 6-foot-3, left-handed pitcher from Dexter who gives Michigan a projectable, in-state arm with starter traits and strike-throwing upside. In the 2025 season, he made six appearances with one start and logged three strikeouts in 4.2 innings, and in Michigan’s 2026 win over Eastern Michigan he worked a scoreless inning with three strikeouts, which hints at real bat-missing ability when he’s sharp. His profile stands out for athletic frame, left-on-left value, and developing velocity—early scouting tracked him in the mid-80s with a usable slider—making him an intriguing fit if a staff wants a moldable, competitive southpaw.
