Jackson Yarberry gives Indiana a durable, swing-and-miss bullpen arm with starter flexibility
In the 2026 season, Yarberry logged 19 appearances and 40.1 innings for Indiana, showing the kind of workload versatility coaches love in a right-hander who can bridge games or absorb starter innings when needed. His best stretch included a five-inning, three-hit, one-walk, eight-strikeout relief outing against Abilene Christian, hinting at real bat-missing ability when his command is sharp. The caution flag: he’s also had some rocky outings against high-end offenses, so he looks more like a useful, competitive innings-eater than a polished shutdown ace.
