2026 review

Brady Basso was a swingman who didn't miss enough bats to survive higher leverage: 1 W, 4 L, 3 HLD and 1 BS, a 6.07 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 43.0 IP, with a 15.5 K% and a 5.0 BB% over 200 BF for ATH. He was optioned Mar 8, recalled Apr 20, optioned again May 2, recalled Jun 14, optioned again Jun 15, and recalled Jul 15. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 1180th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 555th of 575 relievers. His 5.0 BB% and 15.5 K% over 200 BF were, respectively, the 22nd lowest and 45th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, and his 23.7 CSW% over 696 pitches was the 38th lowest of that same pool. His 6.07 ERA ran 2.09 above his 3.98 xERA over 200 BF. His best month was Aug at a 3.21 ERA in 14.0 IP, his worst Sep at a 9.00 ERA in 15.0 IP. The TDK LABS card had him in mid-Jun as a multi-inning relief arm without a path to saves or holds, by mid-Jul as a call-up into a low-leverage bullpen spot, by mid-Sep working longer outings in a pen that kept shifting, and by late Sep flagging that his contact numbers had jumped well past what his skill metrics suggested after a difficult run.
