Max Hilsenroth flashed real swing-and-miss stuff in 2026
In the 2026 season, New Haven right-hander Max Hilsenroth showed strikeout upside and starter’s durability, highlighted by a 10-strikeout complete game against Central Connecticut State and a season-high 4 2/3 innings with six Ks versus Le Moyne. The flip side: he’s also been hittable at times, with walk issues and a 6.26 ERA noted in April, so the profile looks more “high-variance arm with upside” than polished ace. If your staff wants a competitive freshman who can miss bats and soak up innings, he’s worth a close look.
