Bobby McDonough is UMass’s innings-eating RHP with useful swing-and-miss flashes
In the 2025 season, Bobby McDonough worked 30.1 innings for Massachusetts, posted a 10.09 ERA, struck out 17, and logged a save plus a win—so the raw results were uneven, but the Minutemen clearly trusted him in multiple relief roles[1][2]. At 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, he brings a sturdy right-handed frame and experience across a heavy workload, and in 2026 he was still being used in leverage spots, including a save against Mount St. Mary’s[1][3]. If you need a power arm who can absorb innings and compete in pressure moments, he’s worth a look; if you want polished command right now, the numbers say there’s still real work to do[1][5].
