2026 review

Kevin Gausman was a full-time starter whose results lagged his price: a 4.51 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 177.2 IP over 32 games for TOR and CHC, with a 24.5 K% and 6.3 BB% over 750 BF, 9 W and 12 L. He pitched for TOR before moving to CHC, his last game for TOR on Aug 1 and his first for CHC on Aug 7. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 107, he finished 948th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 841 spots below his ADP rank, and 138th of 236 starters. His 4.51 ERA ran 0.48 above his 4.03 xERA over 750 BF, and he posted a 3.18 ERA in 28.1 IP in May against a 6.47 ERA in 32.0 IP in Jun. The TDK LABS card tracked the swing: in early May it had him cruising early before getting hit late with the velocity down, by mid-Jun it still had him missing bats at a high clip, and by late Aug it pointed to a brutal recent ERA alongside a forecast that favored the long ball. By late Sep the card had him day-to-day with no clear timeline.
