Bryce Johnson is giving Washington a late-inning boost out of the bullpen
In the 2026 season, Washington right-hander Bryce Johnson has been a useful relief arm with 18 appearances, a 6.38 ERA, 36.2 innings, 33 strikeouts, and two saves, showing enough swing-and-miss to matter in leverage spots. He’s a 6-3, 220-pound sophomore with starter-to-reliever flexibility, and early-season outings included three scoreless innings with three strikeouts and a save, hinting at real late-inning poise. If you want a physical, right-handed competitor who can handle pressure and give you innings, he’s a fit; if you need polished consistency, there’s still some sharpening to do.
