Talan Kelly is emerging as Utah Tech’s late-inning weapon
In the 2026 season, Utah Tech right-hander Talan Kelly has turned into a trusted bullpen piece, going 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA and 8 strikeouts in 5.1 innings early in the year, then earning WAC Pitcher of the Week honors after two scoreless outings against Northern Colorado. His calling card is competitiveness: he attacks hitters, misses bats, and has already shown he can handle pressure spots in tight games. A former high-upside two-way recruit, Kelly brings local roots, athleticism, and a fearless edge that makes him a strong fit for teams wanting a fiery, strike-throwing reliever.
