Scouting Report: Brad Lord
Washington Nationals | RP
Overall
Summary
Brad Lord has emerged as a valuable multi-inning relief weapon for the Washington Nationals in 2026. Through May 9, he has recorded 3 holds in 12 appearances, working more than one inning in 10 of those outings. Over 25.1 innings, Lord has posted a 3.55 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 18:6 K:BB ratio with one win. He recently recorded his third hold of the season with a scoreless 1.2-inning appearance against the Marlins on May 9. With the Nationals' rotation struggling (Mikolas at 7.00 ERA, Littell at 6.94 ERA, Irvin at 5.91 ERA), Lord is being considered as a potential solution to the team's pitching woes and could be the next 'next man up' for the organization.
