2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile

Bello took a significant step forward in 2025, solidifying himself as a reliable mid-rotation arm behind the team's aces. While he didn't post elite strikeout numbers (6.7 K/9), his ability to limit hard contact and induce ground balls kept his ERA in the low-3.00s. He made 29 starts, proving his durability, though he still battles occasional command lapses. 

2026 Outlook: With the arrival of Gray and Suarez, Bello settles comfortably into the No. 4 starter role, alleviating the pressure to be an "ace." Expect a similar workload with potential for win-total regression or improvement depending on bullpen support, but his ratios make him a safe floor play. His refined sinker-changeup combination helped him suppress the home run issues that plagued him in 2024, where he allowed 19 long balls. Now entering his arbitration years, Bello has evolved from a raw prospect into a high-floor innings eater who keeps his team in the game.
