2026 review

Anthony Núñez was a swing-and-miss reliever for BAL who could not always find the strike zone: 52 games, a 4.07 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 59.2 IP, a 25.9 K% and a 10.2 BB% over 255 BF, with 3 SV and 8 HLD against 3 BS. He was optioned and recalled repeatedly across the year, shuttled between the majors and the minors on Mar 8, Mar 25, Jun 16, Jul 3, Aug 5, Aug 21, Aug 31 and Sep 6. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 648, a rare pick taken in just 3 of 674 drafts, he finished 484th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 159th of 575 relievers. His 15.0 SwStr% over 997 pitches was the 25th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, and his best month was Apr at a 2.38 ERA in 11.1 IP against a 10.03 ERA in 11.2 IP in May. The TDK LABS card had him as a save-chase name if Helsley sat by early May, then settled him into a depth arm with matchup innings and little chance at holds or saves by late Aug through late Sep, striking hitters out but still fighting his control.
