Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Brayan Bello, 27-year-old Red Sox pitcher, is experiencing a catastrophic 2026 season after a solid 2025 campaign. Following a disastrous start in Atlanta where he gave up 7 earned runs on 8 hits with 3 walks and 1 strikeout in 5 innings, the Red Sox have deployed an opener strategy to try to salvage his season. Bello currently has a 1-4 record with a 9.12 ERA, 17 strikeouts, and a 2.260 WHIP over 25 innings pitched—a dramatic decline from his 2025 season (11-9 record, 3.35 ERA, 124 Ks, 1.236 WHIP). He is leading MLB in earned runs and would rank as the worst qualified pitcher in baseball. The Red Sox are attempting to get him back on track by using reliever Jovani Morán as an opener, with Bello piggybacking in relief to face fewer hitters and hopefully regain confidence. His job security appears tenuous with Garrett Crochet returning from injury soon.
