2026 review

Mike Paredes worked as bulk-length pitching depth for MIN, going 0-3 with a 4.72 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 34.1 IP across 9 games including 5 starts, with a 12.3 K% and an 8.4 BB% over 154 BF. His contract was selected May 31, and a left oblique strain sent him to the 15-day IL Jul 26, retroactive to Jul 23, before he was transferred to the 60-day IL Aug 1, with no activation on record through Sep 27 and 66 regular-season days missed. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 973rd of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 632nd of 811 pitchers, and 145th of 236 starting pitchers. His 12.3 K% over 154 BF was the 8th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, his 22.5 CSW% over 552 pitches the 13th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, and his 40.7 Hard% over 118 BBE the 30th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. His 4.72 ERA ran 0.54 below his 5.26 xERA over 154 BF. By early Jun the TDK LABS card had him as bullpen depth in a bulk-length role with no save or hold path, and by late Aug it had him on the extended injured list with the recovery still ahead.
