2026 review

Franco Aleman was a depth reliever bounced around Cleveland's pen all year, posting a 4.43 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 22.1 IP across 21 games, with a 27.2 K% and a 9.7 BB% over 103 BF. He shuttled between the majors and the minors on Mar 8, May 8, May 13, Jul 3, Aug 4, Aug 7, Aug 15, Sep 6 and Sep 13, with his heaviest big-league stretch in Jul at 11 games and 11.1 IP. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 825th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 522nd of 811 pitchers, and 398th of 575 relievers. The TDK LABS card tracked him as a depth piece with no leverage path in early Jun given the closer ahead of him, still without one in mid Jul despite a strong run away from the majors, and back again in mid Sep purely as a mop-up arm.
