Brady Pacha has become Wichita State’s late-inning hammer
In the 2026 season, Pacha has emerged as a trusted right-handed relief ace for Wichita State, piling up saves, missing bats, and rarely issuing free passes—he’s been described by the program as a “strike-throwing machine” with a 1.59 ERA, 28 strikeouts, four walks, and a .139 opponent average through 13 appearances.[1][2] What makes him interesting isn’t just the line: he’s a Wichita native, a steady late-game competitor, and a Division II transfer whose strike-throwing has helped swing conference games. If you want a calm, high-leverage arm who can shorten games, he fits beautifully.[1][4][12]
