2026 review

Jack Kochanowicz was a struggling young starter who couldn't miss bats or the zone: he posted a 6.19 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 64.0 IP for LAA, with a 15.9 K% and 12.2 BB% over 296 BF, going 2 W and 5 L across 13 GS. He was placed on the 15-day IL Jun 7 with right elbow inflammation and transferred to the 60-day IL Jun 10, missing 112 regular-season days with no activation on record through Sep 27. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 948, he finished 1321st of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, ranking 786th of 811 pitchers and 215th of 236 starting pitchers. His 6.19 ERA ran 0.57 above his 5.62 xERA over 296 BF. Right-handed batters hit .221/.299/.352 off him over 137 PA while left-handed batters hit .295/.409/.411 over 159 PA. His best month was Apr, a 2.03 ERA in 31.0 IP, and his worst was May, a 7.85 ERA in 28.2 IP. By early May the TDK LABS card read the matchup as a likely blowup, and by early Jun it had him sidelined for the season with the elbow issue.
