Billy Humphrey brings length, late-inning trust, and swing-and-miss upside for Western Illinois
In the 2026 season, Western Illinois leaned on Billy Humphrey as a high-leverage righty, and he delivered one of his sharper outings with four scoreless innings and four strikeouts in a win over Bradley. He’s a 6-foot-5 reliever/spot starter who has shown he can miss bats, handle pressure, and settle games down late, including a first career save for WIU in 2025. The caveat: his 2026 season line also showed some volatility, so he looks best for teams wanting a tall, competitive arm with innings-eating potential and upside in relief.
