Pitchers to Target Jack Flaherty, DET Flaherty's ERA took a big hit last season, dropping from 3.17 in 2014 to a disappointing 4.64 in 2025. The decline wasn't completely undeserved as his BB/9 rose from 2.11 to 3.30, but he still struck out batters at an elite rate (10.51 K/9) and finished with a 3.69 xFIP, so there's every reason to believe that he'll bounce back in 2026.
