Ty Pankonin gives Prairie View A&M a reliable late-inning arm
In the 2026 season, junior right-hander Ty Pankonin has been a useful bullpen piece for Prairie View A&M, with multiple relief outings that show swing-and-miss ability and poise in pressure spots, including a two-inning, five-strikeout shutdown stint against Our Lady of the Lake and a three-inning, scoreless save against Mississippi Valley State[1][2]. He’s the kind of pitcher a staff wants because he can handle length, miss bats, and steady a game when the temperature rises—exactly the sort of gritty, low-drama fit teams love to plug into late innings[1][2][3].
