2026 review

John Schreiber was a steady setup arm who moved teams late: 66 games, no starts, a 3.28 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 60.1 IP for KCR and NYY, with a 16.3 K% and a 10.6 BB% over 246 BF, 2 saves and 14 holds. He was claimed off waivers by NYY from KCR on Aug 31, his last game for KCR coming Aug 29 and his first for NYY Sep 1. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 524th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 265th of 811 pitchers, 186th of 575 relievers. His 3.28 ERA ran 0.75 below his 4.03 xERA over 246 BF. Right-handed batters hit just .154/.205/.231 off him over 128 PA, while lefties hit .310/.420/.550 over 119 PA, and his best month was May at a 0.87 ERA in 10.1 IP against a 4.09 ERA in 11.0 IP in Jun. The TDK LABS card called him a setup arm crumbling by late Jul, still in a shared-saves committee by late Aug, and by late Sep it was pointing to an ERA well ahead of his strikeout rate, which it placed near the bottom of all relievers.
