2026 review

Brad Keller was a swing-and-miss reliever whose season ended early: he posted a 4.02 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP in 31.1 IP with a 23.7 K% and a 9.6 BB% over 135 BF for PHI, picking up 3 SV and 13 HLD across 32 games, and his 22.7 Hard% over 88 BBE was the 7th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. Right forearm tendinitis put him on the 15-day IL Jun 16 retroactive to Jun 14, he took a rehab assignment Jul 3 and was activated Jul 8, then a right elbow UCL tear sent him back to the 15-day IL Jul 16 retroactive to Jul 13 before he was transferred to the 60-day IL Jul 24, missing 100 regular-season days across the 2 stints. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1086, he finished 543rd of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 543 spots above, and 200th of 575 relievers. His 4.02 ERA ran 0.65 above his 3.37 xERA over 135 BF. The TDK LABS card had him back in a brief closing window in early Jul while the closer ahead of him rehabbed, then by mid-Aug it had him sidelined long-term with the elbow injury pointing toward surgery, and by early Sep it still had him out.
