Mitchell Tarnowski is a high-upside lefty who’s already flashing strikeout stuff at CMU
In the 2026 season, Central Michigan left-hander Mitchell Tarnowski has shown real swing-and-miss ability, striking out 12 batters in 10.2 innings while earning a win in relief, but his early results also show command volatility with 17 walks[2][5][10]. The 6-foot-3 redshirt freshman from Saint Ignatius fits the mold of a live-arm bullpen piece: he’s a developmental arm with legitimate bat-missing traits, clean left-handed value, and upside if the walk rate tightens[1][6]. If you need a projectable LHP who can miss bats and grow into a bigger role, he’s worth keeping an eye on[1][2].
