Scouting Report

Updated May 19, 2026

Justin Wrobleski is a left-handed pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers who has had an exceptional start to the 2026 season. Through his first 36 innings pitched, he owns a 1.25 ERA with only 2 runs allowed in 32 innings as a starter (0.56 ERA). Despite his outstanding run prevention, Wrobleski has recorded just 15 strikeouts through 36 innings (10.5% K rate), a significant drop from his 27.1% strikeout rate as a reliever in 2025. His success has been unconventional, relying on contact management rather than strikeouts. His expected ERA of 4.22 suggests potential regression ahead. He has achieved a rare feat not seen in 35 years and has generated significant fantasy baseball interest, with some questioning the sustainability of his performance given his limited strikeout arsenal.
