Frank Menendez brings Miami a live left arm with bounce-back upside
In the 2026 season, Frank Menendez gives Miami a power lefty look with real upside: he’s a Miami native, a transfer from Florida, and after returning from an elbow injury, the early read on his 2026 Miami stint shows he can miss bats and keep hitters uncomfortable. Miami listed him at 6-1, 230, and the program described him as dominant in limited action, with a 1.29 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and .185 opponent average in 2025 before the injury. He looks like a fit if your team wants a tough, high-upside bullpen arm with local heat and some serious backstory.
