Maxx Yehl is back from injury and back on ace duty for WVU
After missing the 2025 season with an arm injury, the 6-foot-6 left-hander returned in 2026 and turned into West Virginia’s most trusted starter, finishing the regular season with a 9-3 record, 2.13 ERA, and 112 strikeouts in 97 innings. He earned Big 12 Pitcher of the Year honors and national recognition because his fastball-slider mix plays with real starter’s stuff, he limits damage, and he showed he could work deep into games. If your team wants a big, high-upside lefty with frontline polish and proven resilience, Yehl is a very loud yes.
