2026 review

Riley Cornelio was a multi-inning relief arm with swing-and-miss stuff but no strike-zone control: his 15.0 SwStr% over 685 pitches was the 26th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, but his 18.1 BB% over 160 BF was the 3rd highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, and his 39.6 Hard% over 91 BBE was the 50th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. He threw 18 games with 3 starts for WSN, a 3.68 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 36.2 IP with a 25.0 K% and an 18.1 BB% over 160 BF, shuttling between the majors and the minors on Mar 8, Apr 24, Apr 25, Jun 7, Jun 13, Jun 29, Aug 3 and Sep 2. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 661st of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, and 284th of 575 relief pitchers. His best month was Sep, a 1.62 ERA in 16.2 IP, against a 4.91 ERA in 11.0 IP in Jul. The TDK LABS card tracked his role drifting, from an open lane in early Jun with no set role, to the lowest-leverage assignment in the bullpen with no save path by early Jul, to an opener and bulk-relief arm still struggling to find the strike zone with his pitch counts climbing by late Sep.
