Braves' JR Ritchie struggled in 2026, posting -0.3 fWAR over 17 appearances, 11 starts.
According to SB Nation, the Braves went 7-10 in Ritchie's games, and his high home run rate, above 18 percent of fly balls, contributed to his poor results. The review says he pitched like a not particularly effective fifth starter after being promoted following a dominant stretch at Triple-A Gwinnett.
