2026 Fantasy Outlook

Nobody missed Tropicana Field more than Baz, as he was dreadful pitching in Steinbrenner Field. Baz pitched to a 5.90 ERA and 1.46 at home, where he also allowed 18 of his 26 home runs on the season, undoing any good his 16.9 K-BB percentage in those start did. He toiled to a more serviceable 3.86 ERA and 1.21 WHIP on the road despite a lower K-BB percentage of 14.6. Baz worked to drop his ineffective slider for a cutter, but that is a work in progress. That pitch had a .337 average against, while his four-seamer, curve and change-up were all under .245. Baz's ultimate issue, whether indoors or out, is righties, as 17 of his 26 homers came against righties despite his fastball, curve and cutter all having good indicators. His command waivers in starts, and things quickly fell apart for him in some starts, including the one where he allowed five homers to the Yankees in Steinbrenner in late August. You should be intrigued if only because of the move back indoors, because the pieces for success are here if he can ever find some consistency with his command. After all, he had 13 outings where he allowed two or fewer earned runs and another three with 10+ strikeouts in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
