Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Ryne Stanek, a veteran right-handed reliever, recently signed with the St. Louis Cardinals after stints with the New York Mets. The Mets had re-signed him to a $4.5M deal in 2025 following strong playoff performance in 2024, but he struggled with a 5.38 ERA in 2025 after posting a 6.06 ERA in 2024. With the Cardinals in 2026, Stanek has shown mixed results in high-leverage situations. He recorded a save on May 8, 2026, forcing Manny Machado into a lineout with a 99.5 mph four-seam fastball. However, recent reports indicate he's been inconsistent in high-leverage spots with a 6.00 ERA early in the season. The Cardinals are learning that Stanek's performance can be volatile, with success in specific situations not translating to consistent reliability.
