WMU’s senior strike-thrower with Friday-night backbone
In the 2025 season, Ty McKinstry was Western Michigan’s Friday starter, leading the Broncos in innings pitched (71.2) and strikeouts (51) while posting a 5.02 ERA, and he sharpened that profile in conference play with a 3.58 ERA and .221 opponent average. He also flashed bat-missing ability and durability with two complete games, plus a huge 7.0-scoreless-inning outing against Bowling Green in 2025 and a strong 2026 season-opening win at CSUN. He looks like a competitive, dependable RHP who can stabilize a staff; the fit is best for teams that value poise, innings, and steady weekend leadership over pure velocity hype.
