"In 166 innings pitched with the Toronto Blue Jays last season, Berríos posted a 4.17 ERA and 4.65 FIP, along with a 19.8 K% and an 8 BB%. His velocity was down a full mph, going from 94.2 mph on his heater in 2024 to just 93 mph in 2025. However, a reason for that may have been his bicep and elbow injuries he had throughout the season ."
"For the first time in his big league career, Berríos was placed on the injured list, but not before being moved to the bullpen. After starting 30 games, Berríos appeared in relief for the first time since 2017, snapping his start streak. As one could imagine, it didn't appear he was happy about it , and it's not hard to see why."
José Berríos pitched 166 innings for the Blue Jays in 2025, recording a 4.17 ERA, 4.65 FIP, a 19.8% strikeout rate and an 8% walk rate. His fastball velocity fell from 94.2 mph in 2024 to 93 mph, likely influenced by biceps and elbow injuries. He was moved to the bullpen after 30 starts, made his first relief appearances since 2017, and was placed on the injured list for the first time in his career. The Blue Jays signed Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce, creating rotation competition and prompting possible trade interest. Berríos has previously rebounded after poor seasons, including returning from a 5.23 ERA in 2022 to a strong 2023.
