Veteran Washington RHP Tommy Brandenburg brings strikeout upside and bullpen-to-start versatility
Tommy Brandenburg is a useful arm because he gives Washington multiple ways to deploy him: in 2026 he’s already led the Huskies in pitching appearances and has worked in relief, while his April outing vs. Valparaiso showed real swing-and-miss upside with 11 strikeouts in 6.0 innings. [2][5] He’s a veteran with a long track record, but the profile is still a bit volatile: his 2025 season featured a 4.66 ERA over 46.1 innings, so the fit is best for teams that value competitive experience, role flexibility, and the chance to tap into an occasional bat-missing ceiling.
