2026 review

Colton Gordon was a reliever who got hit hard and missed the zone less than the results suggested: an 8.79 ERA and 2.02 WHIP in 14.1 IP, with a 17.1 K% and a 5.7 BB% over 70 BF across 5 games and 1 start, 6 HR allowed among 25 H. He bounced repeatedly, optioned Mar 5, recalled Apr 13, optioned Apr 25, recalled Jun 24, optioned Jun 25, then optioned by MIL Jul 15, recalled Sep 18 and optioned Sep 23, changing teams from HOU to MIL along the way; he threw 9.1 IP over 4 games in Apr and 5.0 IP in 1 game in Sep. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 600, a rare pick taken in just 2 of 674 drafts, he finished 1065th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 697th of 811 pitchers, and 526th of 575 relievers. The TDK LABS card followed the churn, noting the brief callups and zero-appearance option in late Jun, then by late Sep describing him as a late-season arm with no settled job and barely any history to go on.
