2026 review

Bubba Chandler had swing-and-miss stuff that never solved the strike zone: a 4.62 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 154.0 IP for PIT, with a 20.8 K% and an 11.9 BB% over 674 BF across 30 starts, going 8-10. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 151, he finished 1207th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 1056 spots below, and 201st of 236 starting pitchers. His 4.62 ERA ran 0.32 above his 4.30 xERA over 674 BF, and he had a 3.08 ERA in 26.1 IP in Aug against a 6.65 ERA in 23.0 IP in Sep. The TDK LABS card kept circling the same issue all year: borderline unusable on the walks in early May, a live arm with a stubborn leak by mid-Jun, and still a control problem in his finale by late Sep.
