2026 review

Tyler Phillips split the year between the bullpen and the rotation for MIA, finishing with a 3.34 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP in 126.2 IP across 37 games and 20 starts, an 18.8 K% and a 10.4 BB% over 538 BF. He moved from reliever to starter with his first appearance in the new role on May 24, making 0 starts in 15 games before the move and 20 starts in 22 games after, a 1.20 ERA in 30.0 IP as a reliever against a 4.00 ERA in 96.2 IP as a starter. Taken in just 32 of 674 drafts at NFBC ADP rank 882, a rare pick rather than a regular draftee, he finished 626th of 1472 overall in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 353rd of 811 pitchers, and 93rd of 236 players at SP. His 3.34 ERA ran 1.39 below his 4.73 xERA over 538 BF, and his best month was Apr at a 1.65 ERA in 16.1 IP against a 5.30 ERA in 18.2 IP in Jul. Early in May the TDK LABS card had him mixed into bullpen save chances, and by early Jul and again in early Aug it described a recent hot stretch that the surface numbers were running ahead of what was underneath.
