Eric Rawlings has been a steady late-inning weapon for Western Illinois
In the 2026 season, the 6-foot-2 right-hander has been one of Western Illinois’ most reliable bullpen pieces, working 34.2 innings with 36 strikeouts and earning multiple saves while handling high-leverage outs. He looks like a fit for teams that value composed relievers with swing-and-miss ability and enough guts to finish tight games; WIU’s own notes and opponent coverage consistently frame him as a strong arm out of the pen. His profile is less about flash and more about trust—exactly what winning bullpens are built on.
