"Nolan McLean looks like he is an ace in the making after his torrid MLB debut down the stretch. Fellow prospects Brandon Sproat and Jonah Tong may need more seasoning in the minors before making the full-time jump to the bigs, especially for the latter of the duo."
"After that, it gets awfully murky. David Peterson nosedived from All-Star in the first half to liability in the second. Sean Manaea could not recapture his 2024 heroics after his 2025 season began late because of an oblique injury. Kodai Senga lost the mechanics and the feel that made him one of baseball's most imposing pitchers in 2023, as a slew of injuries has derailed each of his last two years."
Nolan McLean projects as an emerging ace after a torrid MLB debut down the stretch. Prospects Brandon Sproat and Jonah Tong likely require additional minor-league seasoning before a full-time major-league role, particularly Tong. Clay Holmes transitioned effectively from reliever to bottom-half starter. Beyond those arms the rotation is uncertain: David Peterson declined sharply after an All-Star first half, Sean Manaea was hindered by an oblique issue, and Kodai Senga has lost mechanics amid multiple injuries. Griffin Canning ended the season with a ruptured Achilles and enters free agency. Frankie Montas suffered a UCL injury requiring Tommy John surgery. President David Stearns faces pressure to revamp the rotation and consider changing his approach to high-priced free-agent pitchers.
