2026 review

Brendon Little missed bats but couldn't find the strike zone, a 33.3 K% and an 18.9 BB% over 132 BF, the K% the 14th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF and the BB% the 2nd highest. He went 0-3 with a 6.35 ERA and 1.91 WHIP in 28.1 IP across 30 games for TOR, all in relief, picking up 3 HLD and 2 BS, with 44 SO and 25 BB. He was optioned Apr 5, recalled Jun 19, optioned again Jun 20, and recalled Jul 18, then placed on the paternity list Aug 13 before being activated Aug 16. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 906, he finished 1119th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 546th of 575 relievers. His 6.35 ERA ran 3.03 above his 3.32 xERA over 132 BF, and his 16.3 SwStr% over 552 pitches ranked 12th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. The TDK LABS card described him in mid-Jul as bullpen depth in an erratic, spot role, by late Aug as a matchup lefty in the Toronto pen, and by late Sep as a situational leverage lefty carrying a high walk rate.
