Scouting Report: Dylan Lee

Summary

Dylan Lee, a left-handed reliever for the Atlanta Braves, has emerged as one of the most effective bullpen arms in baseball through the first seven weeks of the 2026 season. Entering May 14, Lee posted a 0.92 ERA and 1.08 FIP over 19 2/3 innings with a 33% strikeout rate and minimal walks. His career statistics are equally impressive with a 2.65 ERA and 3.24 FIP over 224 innings since his 2021 debut. Lee relies heavily on a gyro slider (56% usage in 2026, 52.5% career average), complemented by a fastball and changeup. He throws the slider over 75% of the time against lefties and 46% against righties. Despite his sustained excellence, Lee has historically received limited national media attention. The Braves organization is honoring his mother-in-law, Maria White, a breast cancer survivor, during an upcoming game, highlighting Lee's personal character and community involvement.
