Why Tarik Skubal Dominates the 2027 MLB Free-Agent Class and Who Could Upend Him
2026 season
| Player | IP | ERA | WHIP | K | BB |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31.0 | 2.90 | 1.19 | 35 | 11 | |
| 28.2 | 3.14 | 1.36 | 17 | 7 | |
| 33.1 | 2.70 | 1.14 | 35 | 14 | |
| 36.0 | 1.75 | 0.97 | 25 | 11 |
Lets call this “Starting Pitching Tier 3.” Mize was off to the best start of his career but just went on the injured list due to a lower-body issue. That’s less concerning than a shoulder or an elbow and shouldn’t influence his free agency too, too much. Gallen returned to Arizona on a one-year deal after dipping his toe in the free-agent waters last winter but looks pretty similar to the pitcher he was in 2025. He’s throwing more sliders and getting more chase as a result, but that’s pretty much it.
