2026 review

Michael Petersen was a swing-and-miss reliever who also let contact fly, posting a 3.02 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 65.2 IP for MIA across 65 games, with 4 W, 1 SV, 25 HLD and 2 BS. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 301st of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 110 of 811 pitchers, and 62nd of 575 relievers. His 30.1 K% over 269 BF was the 39th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, a strength, while his 40.0 Hard% over 155 BBE was the 38th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, a limiter. His 3.02 ERA ran 0.43 below his 3.45 xERA over 269 BF. His 4-seam fastball crept up from 97.6 mph in Mar-Jun to 98.4 mph in Jul-Sep. The TDK LABS card had him day-to-day in late Jul, still logging holds under a workload watch in early Aug, and by late Sep was describing him as working with plus stuff in a fluid mix after the primary closer went down.
