2026 review

Jack Perkins logged heavy innings for ATH without settling into one role: 3-13 with a 6.10 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 121.0 IP across 37 games and 17 starts, a 25.9 K% and a 9.4 BB% over 541 BF. He was optioned Mar 22, recalled Apr 9, optioned again Sep 4 and recalled Sep 5. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1184, he finished 1459th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 798th of 811 pitchers and 573rd of 575 relievers. He moved from the bullpen to the rotation with his first start Jun 5, going from 0 starts in 17 games to 17 starts in 20 games, and the ERA stayed rough: 5.46 in 28.0 IP as a reliever against 6.29 in 93.0 IP as a starter. His fastball sat at 96.1 mph in Mar-Jun (315 pitches) and 95.3 mph in Jul-Sep (292 pitches). His 6.10 ERA ran 2.01 above his 4.09 xERA over 541 BF, with his best month Apr at a 2.70 ERA in 13.1 IP against a 7.98 ERA in 14.2 IP in May. The TDK LABS card had him consolidating as a closer in early May, saw the role turn undefined with save chances evaporating by early Jul, and by late Sep was reading his stuff as sharper than the inflated ERA showed.
