2026 review

Tyler Wells worked out of the bullpen for BAL and TBR, posting a 2.38 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 72.0 IP over 57 games, with a 26.0 K% and a 6.5 BB% over 277 BF, 6 SV and 15 HLD. His 14.8 SwStr% over 1068 pitches was the 32nd highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. His 30.8 CSW% over 1068 pitches was the 39th highest. He was optioned May 2, recalled May 12, then traded from BAL to TBR Aug 3, and was placed on the 15-day IL retroactive to Sep 13 for right forearm tightness, missing 14 regular-season days with no activation on record through Sep 27. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 905, he finished 159th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 746 spots above, and 16th of 575 relief pitchers. His 2.38 ERA ran 0.56 below his 2.94 xERA over 277 BF. His best month was Jun at a 0.87 ERA in 10.1 IP. His worst was May at a 6.10 ERA in 10.1 IP. The TDK LABS card had him as long-relief depth with no save path in mid May, picking up back-to-back saves in a closer committee by early Jul, acquired for setup work by early Aug, and by late Sep reading the forearm tightness as the season being over.
