2026 review

Griffin Canning worked as a swingman: a 5.68 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 88.2 IP for SDP, with a 22.3 K% and a 10.5 BB% over 391 BF across 30 games (11 GS), 5 W and 9 L. Signed as a free agent Feb 17, he went on the 15-day IL Mar 25 for left Achilles surgery, was activated May 3 after missing 39 regular-season days, optioned Sep 23 and recalled Sep 26. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1220, he finished 1278th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 777th of 811 pitchers and 568th of 575 relievers. His 5.68 ERA ran 0.99 above his 4.69 xERA over 391 BF. Right-handed batters hit .227/.319/.326 over 162 PA against him, left-handed batters .310/.389/.525 over 229 PA. His 4-seam fastball averaged 94.2 mph in Mar-Jun and 95.1 mph in Jul-Sep. Once he moved to the bullpen on Jun 17, a 4.59 ERA in 51.0 IP as a reliever followed a 7.17 ERA in 37.2 IP as a starter. His best month was Aug at a 3.00 ERA in 12.0 IP and his worst was May at a 7.16 ERA in 27.2 IP. The TDK LABS card had him assured a rotation slot in early May, in long relief by late Aug, and back as a bulk reliever by Sep 27.
