Makenzie Cowburn is Bellarmine’s workhorse arm with swing-and-miss upside
In the 2026 season, Makenzie Cowburn emerged as Bellarmine’s most trusted pitcher, earning ASUN Pitcher of the Week after a three-win week and a complete-game gem against Lipscomb. She worked 110.1 innings with 102 strikeouts, showing legit durability and the kind of competitiveness coaches love. The tradeoff: her 6.47 ERA and 4-16 record suggest a pitcher still learning to navigate elite lineups, but the stuff is there. If you want a gritty arm who can handle volume and battle through tough stretches, she’s worth a serious look.
