Christian Martinez is Stony Brook’s late-inning stabilizer with real save stuff
In the 2026 season, Christian Martinez emerged as a useful leverage arm for Stony Brook, finishing with a 1.89 ERA and 1 save while also taking on multiple late-game spots, including a 2.0-inning save against St. John’s. He’s a compact right-hander at 5-foot-10, 195 pounds with a starter’s toughness and reliever’s poise, and his value shows up in his ability to handle pressure rather than rack up flashy strikeout totals. He’s the kind of arm coaches trust when the game gets tight.
