Zach Vriesenga gives Western Michigan a steady Friday-night arm with strikeout upside
In the 2026 season, Zach Vriesenga has been Western Michigan’s workhorse RHP, logging 56.0 innings with 54 strikeouts and a 5.79 ERA, including a sharp 6.0-inning, 1-run outing against UMass and several other deep starts that show real durability[1][2][3]. He’s a fit for teams that value a competitive starter who can miss bats and handle volume, though the run prevention has been uneven and the command can wander at times.[2][3]
