Michigan LHP Michael Quedens is a high-upside, innings-building sophomore with a fast-rising role
Quedens is a 6-1, 195-pound left-hander who moved from brief freshman-duty usage in 2025 to a much more meaningful 2026 role, including a career-long 6.1-inning win at Minnesota that showed he can give Michigan length when his command is working[3][5][6]. His current profile is built on durability potential, strike-throwing, and versatility after arriving with a strong two-way high school résumé, but his fit is still as a developmental arm rather than a finished Big Ten starter because his 2025 numbers were uneven and he is still proving consistency at the college level[3][1][2].
