Big righty with starter upside, but still ironing out consistency
In the 2026 season, Austin Peay right-hander Colin Carney has flashed real value in both relief and as a starter, going 1-1 with a 6.26 ERA and 12 strikeouts over 23.0 innings, with a season-best 3.2 scoreless frames and a first-career win on March 10[1][4]. At 6-foot-6, he brings the kind of downhill angle and projectable frame teams like, but the line suggests he’s still a developing arm rather than a finished product[1][9]. If you want upside and size, he’s interesting; if you need instant shutdown reliability, he’s not quite there yet[1][7].
