Ricky Kidd has been WMU’s rotation anchor and MAC ace in 2026
In the 2026 season, Ricky Kidd emerged as Western Michigan’s most reliable starter, going 8-1 with a 4.08 ERA and a team-high 79.1 innings, including a 7-0 mark and 2.96 ERA in MAC play. He’s a workhorse righty who consistently gives the Broncos length, with at least 5.0 innings in nine of 10 league starts, and he was voted WMU’s Pitcher of the Year. Add in a 4.00 GPA and a reputation for steady, competitive outings, and he looks like a polished, plug-and-play arm with real weekend-series value.
