Chardy Tierney is emerging as a steady EKU bullpen weapon with strikeout upside
In the 2026 season, Eastern Kentucky right-hander Chardy Tierney has been a useful relief arm, including a career-high five strikeouts in three scoreless innings at Central Arkansas and a clean finish against Kentucky State after entering with the bases loaded.[11][15] The selling points are clear: a low-slot, down-in-the-zone profile built around a sinking fastball, a high-spin slider, and a fading changeup, plus the poise to handle leverage moments.[2] He looks like a fit for teams that value strike-throwers who can miss bats and keep the ball on the ground.
