Butler’s innings-eating senior righty with real bite
In the 2026 season, Brock Buckley emerged as Butler’s workhorse ace, earning All-BIG EAST Second Team honors after leading the Bulldogs with 79.2 innings and 75 strikeouts while logging a 4.63 ERA and 1.42 WHIP. He has upside because he can miss bats, compete deep into games, and has shown both front-line stuff and stamina, including a seven-inning shutout gem against Villanova and a complete-game win. He’s the kind of pitcher who can stabilize a rotation and bring a tough, veteran presence to a staff.
