High Point’s ace, Big South Pitcher of the Year, and a 2026 Padres draft pick
In the 2026 season, Ty Brachbill was High Point’s workhorse and tone-setter, going 11-2 with a 3.59 ERA, 81 strikeouts, and a team-high 90.1 innings while earning Big South Pitcher of the Year honors and an MLB Draft selection by the Padres. He separated himself with durability, big-game poise, and swing-and-miss stuff—plus he delivered a complete-game win and a pair of weekly conference awards. If a staff needs a reliable Friday-type starter who can carry innings and steady a rotation, he looks like a very strong fit.
