Noah Thigpen is Troy’s clutch bullpen weapon with starter-level guts
In the 2026 season, Troy right-hander Noah Thigpen has been the kind of arm a coaching staff loves: versatile, battle-tested, and calm in big moments, highlighted by a 5.0-inning, 2-run relief gem in Troy’s historic College World Series win over Ole Miss and a four-inning relief stint against Florida in the NCAA Tournament.[3][5][7] A 6-foot-2 sophomore from Lake Park, Ga., Thigpen has also shown real swing-and-miss ability and leverage value, making him a strong fit for teams wanting a competitive strike-thrower who can either start or cover multiple innings.[1][2][9]
