2026 review

Graham Ashcraft was a wild reliever for CIN who missed extended time: 35 games, 0 GS, 40 SO, 1 W, 1 L, 1 SV, 11 HLD and 2 BS, with a 4.08 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 35.1 IP, and a 26.5 K% and a 15.9 BB% over 151 BF. His 15.9 BB% over 151 BF was the 8th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, though his 25.6 Hard% over 86 BBE was the 27th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. He was placed on the bereavement list Apr 29 and activated May 2, then placed on the 60-day IL May 29 for a right forearm UCL sprain, took a rehab assignment Aug 25, and was activated from the 60-day IL Sep 6, missing 100 regular-season days in that stint. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1292, he finished 761st of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, and 356th of 575 relievers. His best month was Apr at a 0.75 ERA in 12.0 IP. His worst month was May at a 6.00 ERA in 12.0 IP. The TDK LABS card had him losing the ninth after a blown save in early May, then in early Sep described him as just back from a long absence with marginal leverage in a deep Cincinnati pen, and by late Sep noted his velocity was down on his first appearance back while he worked mop-up relief.
