"What's more impressive was his numbers when pitching out of the bullpen. In 48.2 innings pitched in relief, Fisher had a 1.85 ERA and 2.46 FIP, with a 31.6 K% and 9.3 BB%. Five of the 15 earned runs he gave up in 2025 came in the only start he made last season in what was a bullpen game. Fisher earned Rookie of the Year votes, finishing 10th in voting."
"Unfortunately, he didn't pitch as well in the postseason, as he gave up five earned runs in seven innings of work for a 6.43 ERA and 5.71 FIP. Two of those runs came in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series, a 10-3 loss, while he also gave up two earned runs in the Blue Jays' 11-4 victory in Game 1 of the World Series when it was already well out of reach."
"With the signing of Tyler Rogers last Friday, the Blue Jays' bullpen will have a lot of competition. In a world where everyone is healthy, you can expect Jeff Hoffman, Yimi García, Louis Varland, Rogers, and Brendon Little to have guaranteed spots in the bullpen, leaving three spots available. Things get more complicated with two longmen in Eric Lauer and José Berríos/Cody Ponce, while Tommy Nance is out of options."
Braydon Fisher broke out for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2025 after being traded from the Los Angeles Dodgers in mid‑June 2024 for Cavan Biggio. His contract was selected on May 7, and Fisher finished the season with a 2.70 ERA and 3.02 FIP across 50 innings, including a 30.7 K% and 9.4 BB%. In 48.2 relief innings he posted a 1.85 ERA, 2.46 FIP and a 31.6 K% while five of his 15 earned runs came in his only start. Fisher received Rookie of Year votes but struggled in the postseason, and faces intense bullpen competition entering 2026.
