Only 4 pitchers in baseball last year threw ≥ 180 innings and finished with a WHIP ≤ 1.00 Tarik Skubal Bryan Woo Paul Skenes Nick Pivetta Pivetta had a criminally underrated 2025 finishing 6th in the Cy Young. Should we be talking about him more?

One player in our discussion this week around non-tenders was Jonah Heim Do catchers with defensive acumen become less relevant with the introduction of ABS? We would argue no. Give the episode a listen and give us your thoughts in the comments below 👇

One of the best fastballs in baseball Elite cut ride movement 21 run value with a 25% Whiff% Downright dominant

With Felix Bautista sidelined for 2026, this is a great option for Baltimore to grab early in the offseason Between Kittredge, Helsley, and a few others, the back end of the Orioles bullpen looks like it could lock down some games

Ryan Helsley’s Slider in 2025: 47.4% Usage 88.9 mph .140 BAA .206 SLG .187 xwOBA 41.6% Whiff% Paired with an average fastball velocity of 99.3 mph, the Orioles just added a back-end arm with nasty stuff!

Ryan Helsley to the Orioles is official. A 2-year deal including a second year option for 2027 Baltimore signs him as their 9th inning arm In high leverage innings since 2019: 101.1 IP 121/43 K/BB .206 BAA .259 wOBA Another good arm off the market..

Ryan Helsley signed with the Baltimore Orioles! Can he return to form in 2026? 🧵

Rafael Montero is one of the more interesting FA relievers. Now 35 years old, the 6’0” RHP pitched to a 4.48 ERA with 58 SO in 60.1 IP in 2025. Peripherals suggest some underlying success, and might lead to a 1 year deal with a contender needing RP. h/t baseballsavant.com

A pitching prospect that has true all-or-nothing potential is Walbert Urena (LAA): 1. Throws 96-99 MPH FF/SI. 2. Has plus CH in the mid-80's. 3. 21 y/o and up at AA already. 4. BAA > .230 w/elite GB-rates. What holds him back is his 12% BB%. Baby José Soriano.

I could see a one year deal for a team like Cardinals or White Sox and potentially moved at deadline Love the splitter profile for him as well, 36% whiff% on that pitch Could easily be an impact middle reliever next year

On this very fine Sunday, I would like to try my hand at my best Not Gaetti impression I believe Not Enough People Talk About™️ Al Spalding (yes that spalding) He retired at 27 to start his sporting good empire after dominating baseball for 5 straight years

Either 60 (both go off) 30 (one goes off) or 10 (neither goes off) I hope for closer to 55 but have a feeling it’ll be close to the 10
