Ivan Mastalski is emerging as a reliable Indiana bullpen weapon
In the 2026 season, the 6-foot-4 right-hander has become a trusted multi-inning reliever for Indiana, logging 34.2 innings, ranking among the team leaders in appearances, and working to a 4.34 ERA with a strong strikeout-to-walk profile early in the year[2][5][8]. The appeal here is the combo: he’s physical, attack-minded, and has shown he can be stretched beyond one-inning bursts when the Hoosiers need stability[2][14]. He looks like a fit for a staff that values toughness, flexibility, and upside, especially after showing he can bounce back from an early-season bump and still earn coach confidence[4][14].
