Corey Kling has become Arizona’s trusted late-inning strikeout arm
In the 2026 season, Corey Kling emerged as one of Arizona’s most reliable relief pitchers, working 40.0 innings across 20 appearances with a 4.28 ERA, 43 strikeouts, and only nine walks; that kind of strikeout-to-walk profile is the real juice. He’s shown he can handle leverage, too, with multiple scoreless, hitless outings in key games and a stretch where Arizona leaned on him to finish close contests. The fit is clear: power-armed, low-walk, competitive, and useful if you want a bullpen piece who doesn’t hand out free passes.
