Mercyhurst’s Nolan Kirsch is a high-usage righty who can miss bats and eat innings
In the 2026 season, Nolan Kirsch has shown real swingman value for Mercyhurst: he’s handled both relief and longer stints, including a 6.1-inning outing with seven strikeouts and just one earned run against UMES, plus a three-inning save against Wagner. His profile suggests toughness and resilience, but the year has also brought some volatility with a few rough outings and control hiccups. If a staff needs a competitive right-hander who can take the ball, grind through innings, and flash strikeout ability, Kirsch is worth a look.
