Emmett Gillies brings veteran bullpen depth and swing-and-miss upside to EMU
In the 2025 season, Emmett Gillies logged 24 innings for Eastern Michigan with a 6.00 ERA, 20 walks, and 17 strikeouts, showing he can work multiple roles but also that command remains the big separator.[1] He’s a 6-foot-3 senior right-hander with experience as a starter, reliever, and closer, and he’s already shown he can settle in when things are right—he was 2-0 early in 2026 and struck out a season-high three in the MAC Tournament.[1][2] The fit? Interesting arm, useful experience, but he profiles best for a team that can help sharpen the strike-throwing and squeeze out more consistency.[1][14]
