Michael Maloney brings veteran middle-infield pop, plus Gold Glove-level value for Western Michigan
In the 2026 season, Michael Maloney has been one of Western Michigan’s most complete players, hitting .357 with 54 RBIs, a .977 fielding percentage at shortstop, and enough lineup impact to earn MAC co-Defensive Player of the Year and Brooks Wallace Award semifinalist recognition. He’s a grinder with real thump, a strong glove, and the kind of steady, competitive presence coaches love in the middle of the diamond. If you want a shortstop who can help you win with both consistency and toughness, he’s a very good fit.
