freshman ace flashing real Friday-night stuff for Western Michigan
Hannah Potts emerged in the 2026 season as a workhorse freshman for Western Michigan, piling up complete games, a shutout, and multiple double-digit win performances while showing the poise to win tight MAC games. Her calling card is strike throwing with bite—she delivered a season-high 9 strikeouts in a 1-0 win over Bowling Green and repeatedly handled heavy innings load. The upside is obvious: competitive edge, durability, and the kind of mound presence that can stabilize a staff. If a team wants a young pitcher who already looks built for big moments, Potts fits the bill.
