Madison Starr is emerging as Mercer’s strike-throwing righty with upside
In the 2026 season, Madison Starr has shown real value as a developing RHP for Mercer: she earned SoCon Pitcher of the Week honors after five scoreless innings against North Carolina A&T, then backed it up with a win over the same stretch of opponents with a 5.0-inning, four-strikeout outing and no earned runs allowed. She’s a durable-looking 5-foot-8 right-hander who competes hard, but her season stats also show she’s still refining consistency. For a team, she’s a worthwhile fit if you want a pitcher with poise, growth potential, and starter-friendly upside.
