Utah Tech’s sturdy righty with swing-and-miss relief upside
In the 2025 season, Ryan Martinez worked 14 starts for Utah Tech, going 2-4 with 57 strikeouts in 83.1 innings, and in 2026 he has already shown value in key spots, including multiple winning appearances out of the bullpen and a strong outing against Washington State. He looks like a durable, attack-the-zone right-hander with enough competitiveness to handle both starts and leverage innings. The fit question is simple: if a team wants toughness, depth, and a pitcher who can eat innings without blinking, Martinez makes a pretty compelling case.
