2026 review

George Soriano bounced through 3 organizations before the season even started and then settled into a setup role for St. Louis, working to a 4.23 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 66.0 IP across 70 games, with 4 SV, 21 HLD and 8 BS, a 22.8 K% and a 12.1 BB% over 290 BF. Baltimore designated him for assignment Jan 5, Atlanta claimed him Jan 9 and designated him Jan 26, Washington claimed him Jan 30 and designated him Feb 5, and St. Louis acquired him in a trade from Washington Feb 10. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 577th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 227th of 575 RP. His 4.23 ERA ran 0.34 below his 4.57 xERA over 290 BF. He handled left-handed batters better, holding them to .186/.278/.300 over 159 PA, while right-handed batters hit .290/.392/.542 over 131 PA off him. His best month was Jul at a 3.09 ERA in 11.2 IP, his worst Aug at a 7.36 ERA in 11.0 IP. In early May the TDK LABS card read his lone save as a case of a short bullpen rather than a role change, still slotting him behind others in the setup mix; by late Sep it had the closer picture as volatile with recent role churn.
