2026 review

J.T. Ginn moved from the bullpen into the ATH rotation, first appearing in the new role Apr 10, with 0 GS in 3 games before it and 24 GS in 24 games after. Across 27 games he ran a 3.71 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 138.1 IP, a 20.9 K% and a 9.8 BB% over 580 BF. A right middle finger blister put him on the 15-day IL Jul 22, retroactive to Jul 18, and he was activated Aug 4; a right elbow impingement sent him back down Sep 5, and he was transferred to the 60-day IL Sep 22, missing 39 regular-season days across 2 stints. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1127, he finished 408th of 1472 overall in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 719 spots above his ADP rank, and 178th of 811 pitchers, 63rd of 236 starters. His ERA ran below his contact quality, 3.71 against a 4.12 xERA over 580 BF, 0.41 below expected. Opposing hitters did more against him from the left side, .243/.353/.397 over 343 PA, than from the right, .199/.249/.324 over 239 PA. His sinker slipped from 93.8 mph Mar-Jun (481 pitches) to 92.8 mph Jul-Sep (323 pitches). He ran better before his blister stint, a 3.67 ERA in 103.0 IP, than after it, a 4.66 ERA in 29.0 IP.
