2026 review

Kyle Freeland limited walks but couldn't stop hard contact: his 4.7 BB% over 613 BF was the 15th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, while his 45.6 Hard% over 469 BBE was the 4th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. He went 4-12 with a 6.65 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 135.1 IP over 27 games (26 starts) for COL, with a 17.6 K% over 613 BF. He missed 40 regular-season days across 2 IL stints, left shoulder inflammation from Apr 13 to Apr 28 and cervical radiculopathy from Aug 21 to Sep 15. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1065, he finished 1470th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 234th of 236 starting pitchers. His 6.65 ERA ran 1.11 above his 5.54 xERA over 613 BF. He posted a 2.52 ERA in 25.0 IP in Aug against a 12.46 ERA in 21.2 IP in May, and his ERA ran 6.37 in 124.1 IP before the Aug 21 stint against 9.82 in 11.0 IP after he came back. Left-handed batters hit .284/.319/.426 against him over 166 PA while right-handers hit .317/.357/.602 over 448 PA. The TDK LABS card had him activated with no rehab work for a Coors-road start in early May, and by late Sep noted him back from a neck injury.
