Scouting Report: Andres Muñoz
Seattle Mariners | RP
Overall
Summary
Andrés Muñoz is experiencing a troubling start to the 2026 season as the Seattle Mariners' closer. Through 16 appearances and 15 innings, he has a 6.00 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP and has already surrendered 3 home runs (compared to just 2 all of last season). He gave up a go-ahead 412-foot home run to Matt Olson in the ninth inning on Tuesday, leading to a 3-2 loss to Atlanta. However, he showed improvement on Monday with a strong outing against Houston, striking out Yordan Alvarez and hitting 101 mph with his fastball. His control remains a concern with 4.5 BB/9, though 5 of his 7 walks came in a three-game stretch early in April. He is converting 7 of 9 save chances despite the struggles.
Strengths
- Strong velocity still present (101 mph fastball)
- Improved outing Monday night against Houston with 2 quick outs and strikeout of Yordan Alvarez
