2026 review

Daniel Duarte was a live-armed reliever for NYM, a 26.8 K% and a 6.2 BB% over 112 BF backing a 2.12 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in 29.2 IP across 24 games, with 2 SV and 6 HLD. His contract was selected May 18, and he was optioned and recalled repeatedly between May 20 and Jul 21 as NYM shuffled its bullpen, before he was placed on the 15-day IL Sep 16 for a left hamstring strain, missing 11 regular-season days with no activation on record through Sep 27. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 296th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 105th of 811 pitchers and 58th of 575 relievers. His 24.3 Hard% over 74 BBE was the 17th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, and his 2.12 ERA ran 0.76 below his 2.88 xERA over 112 BF. The TDK LABS card followed him up the bullpen ladder: in late May it had him optioned back down after a brief scoreless look with no leverage yet earned, by early Aug it had him as a setup arm earning save chances in the Mets pen, by mid-Aug it placed him in the closer committee, and by mid-Sep it read him as a matchup-first arm in the bullpen.
