Noah Thigpen is Troy’s emerging right-handed weapon, flashing swing-and-miss stuff and late-season poise
In the 2026 season, Troy right-hander Noah Thigpen worked 59.1 innings across 24 appearances, struck out 56 batters, saved three games, and finished the year with strong run-prevention stretches, including a 2.75 ERA over his final 10 outings after taking on a bigger relief role. He’s a sturdy 6-2, 208-pound sophomore who can miss bats, handle leverage, and even stretch into multiple innings when needed. That combo makes him a useful fit for teams that value bullpen flexibility, competitiveness, and a pitcher who kept leveling up as the season got louder.
