2026 review

Hunter Barco worked strictly as a reliever for Pittsburgh, going 0-1 with a 7.64 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in 17.2 IP over 7 games, a 16.1 K% and a 14.9 BB% over 87 BF, with 1 HLD and 1 BS. He shuttled between the majors and the minors on Apr 13, Apr 28, Apr 29, Jul 29, Jul 31, Aug 16, Aug 17 and Sep 26. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1192, he finished 1072nd of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 120 spots above his ADP rank, and 532nd of 575 relievers. The TDK LABS card followed the swings: by late Jul it noted strong velocity readings on his fastball and slider in his first look, by mid-Aug it had him back in the bullpen, and by late Sep it described him as bullpen depth despite a rough big-league line.
