2026 review

Caleb Kilian worked exclusively out of the bullpen in 2026, piling up a 4.91 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 47.2 IP over 49 games for SFG and PHI, with a 26.8 K% and a 10.5 BB% over 209 BF, 8 SV and 3 BS. His contract was selected Mar 25 with SFG, he was traded to PHI on Aug 3, then placed on the 15-day IL Aug 10 with a left oblique strain and transferred to the 60-day IL Sep 17, missing 48 regular-season days in 1 stint. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 780, a rare pick taken in just 22 of 674 drafts, he finished 531st of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 190th of 575 relief pitchers. His 4.91 ERA ran 1.34 above his 3.57 xERA over 209 BF, and his best month was Apr at a 0.69 ERA in 13.0 IP against a 7.50 ERA in 12.0 IP in May. The TDK LABS card described him in early Aug as bullpen depth acquired in the trade, then by mid-Aug had him on the 15-day IL with the oblique strain, and by late Sep was still talking about that oblique injury as having derailed a bid to close.
