2026 review

Nick Pivetta was a starter who missed most of the year but pitched well when healthy, sharp control and swing-and-miss stuff around a long injury. He posted a 2.86 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 34.2 IP for SDP, striking out 42 and walking 8 across 8 starts. Right elbow inflammation put him on the 15-day IL Apr 14 (retroactive to Apr 13), he was transferred to the 60-day IL Jun 2, took rehab assignments Aug 4, Aug 25 and Aug 30, and was activated Sep 7, missing 147 regular-season days in 1 stint. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 88, he finished 330th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 242 spots below, 126th of 811 pitchers and 53rd of 236 starters. His 30.0 K% and 5.7 BB% over 140 BF ranked 42nd highest and 49th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. His 2.86 ERA ran 0.34 below his 3.20 xERA over 140 BF. He carried a 4.50 ERA in 16.0 IP before the stint and a 1.45 ERA in 18.2 IP after activation. By early Sep the TDK LABS card had him back throwing clean innings with the workload building gradually, and by late Sep it had him working with strong command and a high strikeout rate.
