Tyler Lender is Iona’s late-inning bullpen stabilizer in 2026
In the 2026 season, Tyler Lender has been a reliable right-handed relief option for Iona, posting a 1.99 ERA with a 1.06 WHIP over 22.2 innings and 26 strikeouts, while also logging 21 appearances out of the bullpen.[1][2] He’s shown real poise in leverage spots—highlighted by a 3.0-inning, four-strikeout shutdown outing against Manhattan in May 2026—and his track record as a repeat Academic All-MAAC honoree hints at a disciplined, team-first profile that coaches usually love.[1][6]
