2026 review

Eduard Bazardo settled into a steady relief workload for SEA, posting a 4.01 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 67.1 IP across 73 games, with a 23.6 K% and an 8.4 BB% over 297 BF, plus 1 SV, 26 HLD and 4 BS. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 963 in only 52 of 674 drafts, he finished 815th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 513th of 811 pitchers, and 391st of 575 relief pitchers. His 4.01 ERA ran 0.94 below his 4.95 xERA over 297 BF, and his sinker climbed from 95.1 mph in Mar-Jun to 96.5 mph in Jul-Sep. He was sharpest in Apr at a 0.77 ERA in 11.2 IP and roughest in Jul at a 5.56 ERA in 11.1 IP. The TDK LABS card tracked him climbing the bullpen ladder all year: by early May it had him quietly piling up leverage innings as a setup mate opened more work, by late Jun it had him piling up holds in the leverage slot, by mid Aug it had him as a bridge arm in a mostly linear pen, and by late Sep it had him working as a committee closer with a first career save but save-less recently.
