There are a number of pitchers on this list who are currently injured, including some who have undergone Tommy John surgery and will miss most, if not all, of 2026: Orioles RHP Braxton Bragg, Braves RHP AJ Smith-Shawver, Red Sox RHP Yordanny Monegro, Cardinals RHP Tekoah Roby and Nationals RHP Travis Sykora. Others, such as Nationals right hander Jarlin Susana are shut down with other injuries, of various severity. Adjust accordingly based on this information.

The highest-ranked pitchers who have not yet debuted in the major leagues are a pair of Marlins. Both Robby Snelling and Thomas White ended the year in Triple-A and project at peak to have sub-3.50 ERAs.

For the final time this year, happy bidding!
