FIU’s Julian Mlodzinski: durable right-hander with starter’s stamina, but still searching for sharper results
In the 2026 season, Julian Mlodzinski has worked in a swing role for Florida International, including a career-high 6.2 innings against Sam Houston and earlier a three-scoreless-inning, four-strikeout outing versus Villanova, showing real stamina and attack-the-zone upside[7][15]. His season line has been rougher overall, with a 6.36 ERA and 3-8 record across 58.0 innings, so the appeal is more about traits than the box score: size, durability, and the ability to handle multiple innings or spot-start when needed[1][2]. He looks like a fit for teams that value innings, toughness, and development runway over immediate polish[2][10].
