Maddie Carney gives SEMO a workhorse arm with upside in big moments
In the 2026 season, Maddie Carney has been a volume pitcher for Southeast Missouri State, leading the team with 23 starts and 113.2 innings while also adding five complete games, one shutout, and three saves. Her value goes beyond the ERA column: she can start, finish, or close, which is rare flexibility for a college staff. The swing skill is command consistency, but when she’s on, she gives SEMO a tough, durable right-hander who can survive long outings and handle pressure innings.
