Maddie Carney gives SEMO a proven OVC-caliber arm with strikeout bite
Carney has established herself as a trusted part of Southeast Missouri’s pitching staff, following a 2024 OVC All-Newcomer season and then logging heavy innings again in 2025-26, including 46 strikeouts in 89.2 innings while leading SEMO’s staff in Ks. Her value is in durability, command, and experience against league competition: she has handled both starts and relief work, has shown the ability to work deep enough to stabilize games, and has been effective enough to draw preseason player-to-watch attention. She profiles as a fit for teams that want a steady, battle-tested lefty/right-handed? pitcher who can compete in pressure games and give a staff depth.
