Bryan Eduardo Mata (born May 3, 1999) is a Venezuelan professional baseball pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. Listed at 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) and 160 pounds (73 kg), he bats and throws right-handed.
Mata signed with the Boston Red Sox as an international free agent in January 2016 for a $25,000 signing bonus. He made his professional debut that summer for the DSL Red Sox and spent all the whole season there, compiling a 4–4 record, a 2.80 ERA, and a 1.20 WHIP in 14 games started. In 2017, he played for the Class A Greenville Drive where he posted a 5–6 record with a 3.74 ERA in 17 starts.
MLB.com ranked Mata as Boston's fourth best prospect going into the 2018 season. Playing for the Class A-Advanced Salem Red Sox, Mata was the sole Boston prospect selected to the 2018 All-Star Futures Game, where he pitched an inning of scoreless relief, allowing one hit while walking one and striking out one. In 17 starts for Salem, Mata was 6–3 with a 3.50 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP.
Mata started the 2019 season with Salem, and was promoted to the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs on July 1. Overall with both teams during the season, Mata compiled a 7–7 record with 3.43 ERA and 111 strikeouts in 105 innings. After the 2020 minor league season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mata was invited to participate in the Red Sox' fall instructional league. Following the 2020 season, Mata was ranked by Baseball America as the Red Sox' number four prospect.
On November 20, 2020, Mata was added to the 40-man roster. During 2021 spring training, he sustained a slight UCL tear. On April 13, 2021, Mata underwent Tommy John surgery, ending his 2021 season. Mata began the 2022 season on the injured list in Triple-A with the Worcester Red Sox. He resumed pitching in May in extended spring training, and played in a minor-league game for the first time in over two years in early June.
