Zander Bretza brings short-relief strikeout punch to Ball State’s bullpen
Bretza looks like a useful bullpen arm for Ball State because he has shown he can miss bats in tight relief work, including 7 strikeouts over 2.2 shutout innings in a summer outing and a save with a fastball sitting around 90-91 mph, suggesting a power profile that plays late in games. He also has the sort of compact, attack-minded identity coaches tend to value in high-leverage right-handers: strike-throwing, shutdown innings, and the confidence to finish games.
