Malec gives Mercyhurst a workhorse righty with bite and polish
In the 2026 season, Andrew Malec has been a steadying force for Mercyhurst: he led the pitching staff with a 4.35 ERA, struck out 43 in 51.2 innings over 11 appearances and 10 starts, and held opponents to a .222 average. He’s shown starter-level durability, including an eight-inning, three-hit shutout-style outing with five strikeouts, plus multiple other quality starts. The sell here: a big 6'4" frame, a heavy workload, and enough strike-throwing ability to miss bats without getting rattled. He looks like a fit for teams wanting a dependable RHP who can take the ball and compete.
