2026 review

Justin Wrobleski was a control arm who avoided free passes but gave up loud contact. He went 12-5 with a 3.66 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 140.0 IP across 28 games (22 GS) for LAD, with a 20.4 K% and a 5.4 BB% over 578 BF. His 5.4 BB% over 578 BF was the 35th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, and his 40.3 Hard% over 424 BBE was the 36th highest of that pool. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1011, he finished 260th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 751 spots above, and 40th of 236 starting pitchers. His 3.66 ERA ran 0.88 below his 4.54 xERA over 578 BF, and his fastball climbed from 94.2 mph in Mar-Jun to 95.4 mph in Jul-Sep. A left forearm inflammation put him on the 15-day IL Aug 16; activated Sep 1 after missing 16 regular-season days, he had a 3.56 ERA in 126.1 IP before it and a 4.61 ERA in 13.2 IP after. He then moved from starter to reliever on Sep 22, going from 22 GS to 0 GS in 3 G. The TDK LABS card liked the wins early but flagged a thin swinging-strike rate, and by Sep had him in long relief with limited role clarity.
