2026 review

Mick Abel worked mostly as a starter who missed as many bats as he missed the plate, a 24.7 K% and a 10.8 BB% over 93 BF backing a 3.98 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 20.1 IP across 4 games and 3 starts for MIN, with 9 ER, 10 BB and 23 SO. He threw 3.1 IP in Mar and 17.0 IP over 3 games in Apr before a right elbow inflammation put him on the 15-day IL on Apr 20, retroactive to Apr 17, a stint that became a 60-day IL assignment with no activation on record through Sep 27, 163 regular-season days missed, though he did take a rehab assignment on Jun 10. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 393, he finished 730th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 337 spots below, and 442nd of 811 pitchers, 110th of 236 at SP. By early May the TDK LABS card had him back playing catch with encouraging signs but not expected back by his IL eligibility date, and by late Aug the card still placed him on the 60-day list without a set timetable for coming back.
