2026 review

Juan Mejia was a volume relief arm who struggled to find the strike zone: a 5.27 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 70.0 IP for COL, with a 20.4 K% and a 12.4 BB% over 323 BF, finishing 4 W, 6 L, 4 SV and 9 HLD across 65 games. He worked from his first game Mar 27 through his last Sep 25. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1063, he finished 1202nd of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 559th of 575 RPs. His ERA ran 0.54 above his 4.73 xERA over 323 BF. He handled right-handed batters, who hit .221/.333/.237 over 158 PA against him, much better than left-handed batters, who hit .343/.421/.545 over 165 PA. His 4-seam fastball averaged 97.4 mph in Mar-Jun and 96.4 mph in Jul-Sep. His best month was Jul at a 2.53 ERA in 10.2 IP, his worst May at a 7.11 ERA in 12.2 IP. The TDK LABS card had him as a rested, trending setup arm by late Aug, and by late Sep it described him as a multi-inning relief piece in Colorado without save chances.
