2026 review

Emmet Sheehan was a swing-and-miss starter who couldn't keep the ball in the yard, his 14.8 SwStr% over 1956 pitches was the 33rd highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, but he posted a 4.57 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 112.1 IP for LAD, with a 28.0 K% and a 7.0 BB% over 472 BF across 23 games and 22 GS. He was shuttled between the majors and the minors on Aug 3, Aug 18, Aug 21, Sep 7, Sep 14, Sep 20, and Sep 21. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 120, he finished 581st of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 461 spots below, and 87th of 236 starters. His 4.57 ERA ran 1.00 above his 3.57 xERA over 472 BF. Against right-handed batters opponents hit .205/.272/.369 over 218 PA, against left-handed batters .255/.319/.502 over 254 PA. His best month was Sep at a 0.53 ERA in 17.0 IP against a 6.00 ERA in 21.0 IP in Jun. The TDK LABS card tracked a similar swing: by early May it read him as tough to evaluate with diminished velocity, by late Jun it had elite stuff getting shelled, and by late Sep it had him working as a bulk reliever behind openers, dominating with an elite strikeout rate but limited as a traditional starter.
