steady Redbirds arm with relief versatility
In the 2026 season, Illinois State righty Tresdon Rybarczyk has been used as a flexible bullpen piece, with at least 10.1 innings and 8 appearances in team stats, while Illinois State’s roster bio notes 14 strikeouts in 23.1 innings in the prior season[2][1]. The appeal is his ability to give multiple innings, handle both high-leverage and bridge work, and keep attacking the zone; in 2025 he logged several multi-inning outings, including a 4.0-inning save and a 2.1-inning scoreless relief win[5][6][7]. He’s not a headline-grabbing flamethrower, but he looks like a useful, gritty bullpen fit if you value innings, composure, and matchup flexibility[1][5].
