Steady lefty relief piece with strike-throwing upside
In the 2026 season, Brady Banker has emerged as a useful left-handed bullpen arm for Indiana State, logging 11.2 innings with a 5.40 ERA and a 1-0 record while working primarily in relief. He’s not a velocity-headline guy; the appeal is more about getting outs, handling left-on-left matchups, and giving the Sycamores a dependable mid-game bridge. His 2025 numbers were rougher, but he’s shown enough poise to earn innings and chip in on a pitching staff that needs competent, competitive outs. If you want a crafty LHP who competes, he’s a fit.
