2026 review

Pete Fairbanks missed bats all year, but his ERA never caught up with the contact he allowed: he posted a 6.31 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 41.1 IP, a 31.1 K% and an 11.5 BB% over 183 BF, across 46 games and 1 GS, with 57 SO, 21 BB, 19 SV, 4 W, 5 L and 4 BS for MIA. He was placed on the paternity list Apr 6 and activated Apr 9, then missed 42 regular-season days across 3 IL stints for nerve irritation, from Apr 28 to May 13, Aug 25 to Sep 9, and again from Sep 15. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 105, he finished 433rd of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 328 spots below, and 127th of 575 relievers. His 33.1 CSW% over 767 pitches was the 7th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, and his 31.1 K% over 183 BF was the 27th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. His 6.31 ERA ran 1.89 above his 4.42 xERA over 183 BF. The TDK LABS card called the closer job open when he first went down in late Apr, flagged him hot-seat by late Jul, and had him back on the IL by late Sep.
