Gracie Maloney gives Creighton a 6-foot right-handed arm with upside
In the 2026 season, sophomore pitcher Gracie Maloney brought Creighton a 6-foot, right-handed presence with Power Five transfer pedigree after arriving from North Texas, and her usage early in the season showed the staff trusted her in meaningful innings. Her appeal is upside: size, versatility, and the kind of developmental runway that can make a staff better over time. She’s a fit for teams that value projectable pitching and depth, though the public stat trail is still thin enough that the “why care” answer is mostly about potential, not a fully formed stat-line star yet.
