2026 review

Brandon Eisert was a marginal reliever with real swing-and-miss but wild command: a 5.52 ERA in 44.0 IP across 40 games (4 starts) between CHW and PIT, with a 25.9 K% and a 7.4 BB% over 189 BF, 49 SO against 14 BB. He shuttled between Chicago and the majors several times before being traded from CHW to PIT on Jul 11, then kept bouncing between Pittsburgh and the majors through early Sep. Undrafted, he finished 811th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 389th of 575 relievers. His 5.52 ERA ran 1.76 above his 3.76 xERA over 189 BF. The TDK LABS card had him in mid-May as low-leverage left-handed pen depth with brutal ratios behind him, then simply noted the trade in mid-Jul and the recall back in mid-Sep.
