2026 review

Randy Dobnak settled in as a back-of-rotation innings-eater who ran hot early and cold late, a 3.51 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 74.1 IP over 15 games with 13 starts, and a 15.3 K% and an 8.1 BB% over 321 BF for KCR. Traded to KCR on Jun 17, he was recalled Jul 1 and worked 26.0 IP in Jul and 25.2 IP in Aug, then 22.2 IP in Sep. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 849th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 127th of 236 starting pitchers. His 15.3 K% over 321 BF was the 38th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. His 3.51 ERA ran 1.35 below his 4.86 xERA over 321 BF. His best month was Jul at a 1.04 ERA in 26.0 IP and his worst was Sep at a 7.15 ERA in 22.2 IP. The TDK LABS card had him filling a bullpen gap in early Jul, still framed him as a solid-floor back-of-rotation arm with limited pitch depth by mid-Sep, then by late Sep flagged a brutal recent stretch of starts allowing multiple earned runs.
