JW Armistead gives Southern Miss a big-frame, workhorse bullpen arm
In the 2026 season, Southern Miss right-hander JW Armistead logged 27 appearances, posted a 1-0 record with a save and a 3.48 ERA, and struck out 20 in 20 2/3 innings, giving the Golden Eagles a durable late-game option. His 6-foot-5, 215-pound build and heavy usage suggest a pitcher coaches trust in high-leverage spots, though the 14 walks point to command that still needs sharpening. He’s the kind of arm you care about if you want size, experience, and bullpen flexibility.
