late-season bullpen ace and Summit League Tournament MVP for SDSU
In the 2026 season, Ty Madison became South Dakota State’s do-it-all right-hander, finishing with a 4-5 record, four saves, a 4.75 ERA, and 51 strikeouts in 66.1 innings while leading the Jackrabbits into the postseason run. He’s the kind of pitcher who can stabilize a game in multiple roles: since moving to the bullpen in late March, he posted a 2.05 ERA over 22 relief innings with 22 strikeouts and just one walk, then capped it by earning Summit League Championship MVP honors. If your team wants toughness, strike-throwing, and high-leverage poise, he fits the bill.
