2026 review

Bryan King worked as a relief-only arm for HOU across 60 games with 1 start, posting a 5.19 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 60.2 IP, with an 18.3 K% and an 8.3 BB% over 278 BF, 6 SV, 12 HLD and 6 BS. HOU optioned and recalled him, on Jul 20, Jul 25, Aug 21 and Sep 4. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1072, he finished 1044th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 688th of 811 pitchers. His 5.19 ERA ran 1.10 above his 4.09 xERA over 278 BF, and his 8.1 SwStr% over 1068 pitches was the 51st lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. Right-handed hitters did more damage against him than left-handers, .308/.380/.517 over 164 PA for right-handed batters against .243/.316/.330 over 115 PA for left-handed batters. The TDK LABS card had him early as HOU's interim closer while others were failing the role, then by Aug 9 it was following him as a middle reliever in a committee bullpen, and by Sep 26 as a lefty matchup arm in HOU's pen.
