D-backs Prospect Mitch Bratt Eyeing 2026 Season

Left-handed pitching prospect Mitch Bratt, acquired by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the Merrill Kelly trade, is considered a dark horse for the 2026 roster. Ranked among the D-backs' top pitching prospects, the 22-year-old is lauded for his exceptional control, evidenced by a K:BB ratio better than 7 in Double-A last year. Despite a fastball around 91 mph and average pitch ratings, Bratt's Rule 5 eligibility led to his 40-man roster addition. He is expected to start the year in Double-A.
