Billy Eich brings size, strike-throwing intrigue, and veteran depth to Kansas State’s bullpen
In the 2026 season, Kansas State RHP Billy Eich stands out as a big-bodied, senior right-hander at 6-6, 260 who gives the Wildcats innings and matchup flexibility, and he picked up a win in the season-opening 2026 Columbia game after working 3.0 scoreless frames with 2 strikeouts and 2 walks. His appeal is the classic power-pitcher profile: physicality, mound presence, and enough polish to survive in key spots, plus a track record of real workload from Barry before arriving in Manhattan. If you want upside with some toughness and experience, he’s a useful fit; if you need a tiny, max-velocity-only flamethrower, he’s not that guy.
