Rylee Michalak brings fresh-arm value and real strikeout chops to Mizzou’s circle
In the 2025 season at Houston, Rylee Michalak logged 23 appearances, 14 starts, 59.2 innings, 35 strikeouts, and six wins, then showed immediate SEC usefulness for Missouri in 2026 with a clutch 1.1 scoreless innings against Alabama and a three-up, three-down frame versus Louisiana. Her calling card is poise under pressure, bullpen flexibility, and the ability to miss bats without needing a huge frame—she’s listed at 5-foot-4. She looks like a smart fit for a staff that wants a versatile righty who can calm chaos, not create it.
