Scouting Report: Brayan De Paula
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Brayan Bello, a right-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, is experiencing significant struggles in the 2026 season. He has posted a 7.16 ERA with 30 strikeouts, 20 walks, and 10 home runs in 44 innings pitched. In a recent outing against the Braves, Bello allowed seven earned runs in five innings in an 8-1 loss. The Red Sox have implemented an unconventional strategy using an opener (Jovani Morán) followed by Bello in a piggyback relief role to help him regain form. Despite being a crucial mid-rotation starter with significant workload since 2023 (93 starts, 530 innings), Bello is currently underperforming expectations and the team is taking a day-by-day approach with their rotation due to multiple injuries.
Strengths
- Experienced mid-rotation starter with 93 starts and 530 innings since 2023
- Team remains committed to getting him back on track with creative strategies
