2026 review

Connor Prielipp was a rookie starter who missed plenty of bats but couldn't keep the ball in the park or the walks down enough to match it, posting a 4.87 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 125.2 IP across 24 games (22 starts) with a 23.9 K% and an 8.2 BB% over 535 BF. He was optioned Mar 9 and recalled Apr 22, then a left middle finger blister put him on the 15-day IL Jul 9; after a rehab assignment Jul 19 he was activated Jul 26, missing 17 regular-season days. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1089, he finished 1036th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 166th of 236 starting pitchers. His 4.87 ERA ran 0.92 above his 3.95 xERA over 535 BF. He posted a 5.00 ERA in 66.2 IP before the blister stint and a 4.73 ERA in 59.0 IP after activation, and his best month came with a 2.36 ERA in 26.2 IP in Sep while his worst month brought a 7.76 ERA in Aug. The TDK LABS card had him as a sharp stream pick against a Cease matchup in early May, skipping a turn by early Jul, and by late Jul back with strikeout stuff still holding up after the finger issue.
