2026 review

Aaron Ashby was a power reliever who missed bats and worked deep into the season: a 3.12 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 89.1 IP across 75 games and 1 start for MIL, with a 30.3 K% and 10.7 BB% over 383 BF, 13 W, 4 SV, 15 HLD and 6 BS. His 32.6 CSW% over 1582 pitches was the 9th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, and his 30.3 K% over 383 BF was the 36th highest of that same pool. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1168, he finished 207th of 1472 overall in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 961 spots above, and 57th of 811 pitchers and 30th of 575 relievers. He posted a 0.63 ERA in 14.1 IP in Aug against a 6.75 ERA in 10.2 IP in Jul. The TDK LABS card had him as an elite arm by late Jul, and by early Aug it had him as a leverage piece riding win accumulation even as his recent ERA climbed; by late Sep it had him working multiple innings in high leverage, with a save coming amid the closer's fatigue.
