2026 review

Bryan Baker closed for TBR all year, racking up 41 SV with a 1.44 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in 62.1 IP over 65 games, a 25.8 K% and a 9.0 BB% over 244 BF, with 4 W, 2 L, 2 HLD and 3 BS. His 1.44 ERA ran 1.64 below his 3.08 xERA over 244 BF. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1290, he finished 52nd of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 1238 spots above, 10th of 811 pitchers and 4th of 575 relief pitchers. His 4-seam fastball averaged 97.0 mph in Mar-Jun over 263 pitches and 95.5 mph in Jul-Sep over 254 pitches. The TDK LABS card had him locked into the ninth inning as early as May amid a bullpen shuffle around him, then by mid Aug it pointed to a rested closer working consecutive scoreless saves. By Sep 10 it had him as the team's saves leader after returning from an illness, and by Sep 25 it still had him holding the ninth inning job even with few save chances left.
