2026 review

JP Sears missed bats and barrels only rarely, but the results held up better than the process. He posted a 4.68 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 32.2 IP over 8 games with 6 starts for SDP, with a 17.5 K% and a 7.7 BB% over 143 BF, allowing 33 H and 6 HR across 19 R and 17 ER. He was optioned Mar 22, recalled Jun 23, and optioned again Aug 4. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1223, he finished 705th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 518 spots above his ADP rank, and 105th of 236 starting pitchers. His 23.4 CSW% over 529 pitches was the 30th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. His 4.68 ERA ran 0.48 below his 5.16 xERA over 143 BF. He had his best month in Jul at a 2.95 ERA in 21.1 IP and his worst in Jun at a 6.97 ERA in 10.1 IP. The TDK LABS card had him coming up with rough recent form in late Jun, back in the rotation by mid Jul and performing adequately, then by early Aug cast as a lefty reliever on a selling team.
