2026 review

JT Brubaker settled into a bullpen role that produced results ahead of the underlying skill: 41 games with 1 GS, a 3.58 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 60.1 IP, with 2 SV, 3 HLD and 2 BS, but his 15.6 K% over 250 BF was the 50th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. His 3.58 ERA ran 1.44 below his 5.02 xERA over 250 BF. Opposing left-handed batters managed just .192/.303/.231 over 122 PA while right-handers hit .250/.308/.448 over 130 PA. An Aug 24 placement on the 10-day IL with bruised ribs cost him 34 regular-season days with no activation on record through Sep 27. Taken in only 8 of 674 drafts at ADP rank 655, he finished 729th of 1472 overall and 441st of 811 pitchers, 332nd of 575 relievers. The TDK LABS card tracked a role in flux, floating vulture-save chances and mop-up work after the closer stumbled in late Jul, before landing on early rehab work from bruised ribs by late Sep.
