Scouting Report: Mike Soroka

Summary

Michael Soroka has experienced a remarkable resurgence with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2026. After posting a 4.52 ERA with the Nationals and Cubs in 2025, the 28-year-old right-hander has impressed in his first season with Arizona, posting a 5-2 record with a 3.53 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 8 starts and 43.1 innings. Most notably, Soroka has allowed one earned run or fewer in 5 of his 8 starts and has been part of the Diamondbacks' dominant starting rotation, which has posted a 1.51 ERA over the last 7 starts. His recent performance includes a dominant 6.1 scoreless innings against Texas on May 11, recording his 30th career quality start. He has struck out at least 5 hitters in 6 of 8 outings and has been efficient with his pitches, particularly his slurve. The only significant blemish was an 8-run outing against Milwaukee on April 30, but he has bounced back strongly since then.
