Griffin Madden gives JMU a power arm with real late-game value
In the 2026 season, Griffin Madden’s profile is that of a useful bullpen piece: he appeared in 18 games, logged 26.1 innings, posted a 1-0 record with one save, and had a 8.89 ERA for James Madison. He flashed impact in key spots, including 2.1 scoreless innings with four strikeouts against Louisiana and his first career save at Virginia, which hints at real mound composure when the lights get bright. At 6-3, 195, the junior right-hander brings size, experience, and swing-and-miss ability; the fit is best for teams valuing a competitive reliever who has already shown he can handle pressure innings.
