"A former second-round pick and highly regarded prospect with the Angels, Canning has shown glimpses of the upside he had during his minor league days but hasn't found much consistency in the majors. Part of that is due to persistent injuries, as he's missed time in his career due to not just last year's Achilles tear but also elbow, groin and calf injuries over the years."
"Through his first nine starts, he posted a terrific 2.47 ERA with slightly better-than-average strikeout and walk rates (23.2% and 8.6%, respectively) and an excellent 55.2% ground-ball rate. He had some good fortune in terms of balls in play, home runs and strand rate, but even more bearish metrics like SIERA (3.84) and FIP (3.92) still graded him as a solid mid-rotation arm."
Griffin Canning, a right-handed pitcher, spent 2025 with the Mets on a one-year, make-good deal and attracted interest from the Cardinals and White Sox in free agency. He began the season strongly with the Mets, filling a rotation spot and posting a 2.47 ERA through his first nine starts with solid strikeout, walk, and ground-ball rates. Canning then struggled with control in mid-May and suffered a torn Achilles during a start against the Braves, which ended his season. His career has been hampered by multiple injuries and uneven major-league consistency after being traded by the Angels.
