2026 review

Jared Jones came back from a long injured-list stint: a 3.72 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 101.2 IP over 21 games and 21 starts for PIT, with 5 W and 6 L, and a 29.6 K% and a 7.5 BB% over 415 BF. He was placed on the 60-day IL on Feb 11, took rehab assignments on Apr 29, May 6, May 12 and May 23, and was activated May 29, missing 65 regular-season days. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 433, he finished 291st of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 142 spots above, and 47th of 236 starting pitchers. His 14.7 SwStr% over 1634 pitches was the 35th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, and his 29.6 K% over 415 BF was the 50th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. His 3.72 ERA ran 0.54 above his 3.18 xERA over 415 BF, and he posted a 0.93 ERA in 29.0 IP in Sep against a 7.40 ERA in 20.2 IP in Aug. The TDK LABS card had him rehabbing in late May with a bullpen session as the gate back, by Jul it had him off a rough debut but flashing a strong outing, by mid Sep it had him stringing together high-strikeout starts, and by late Sep it had him peaking.
