Kade Anderson: Baseball America’s 2026 MiLB Pitcher of the Year ⚾️ Mariners lefthander Kade Anderson managed to do the seemingly impossible in 2026. His MiLB season was silky smooth from his first pitch to the last out. It’s to Anderson’s credit that his 2026 season doesn’t have a singular moment that will linger as its lasting memory. As impressive as he was, he reached double digits in strikeouts only once. What’s more memorable is just how often Anderson was in control. It’s the relentless consistency that will serve as the hallmark of one of the best seasons we’ve ever seen from a MiLB pitcher.
