Turner Doran has become Western Michigan’s late-inning hammer
In the 2026 season, Turner Doran emerged as Western Michigan’s bullpen anchor, leading the MAC with 10 saves and posting a 3.06 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 32.1 innings across 23 appearances. He’s been recognized on the NCBWA Stopper of the Year watch list in back-to-back seasons and earned WMU’s Relief Pitcher of the Year again, which tells you the staff trusts him in the biggest moments. The fit is obvious: competitive, experienced, and battle-tested, with proven closing chops and enough strike-throwing to keep rallies from snowballing.
