Connelly Early
#712026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile
Early made his MLB debut in 2025, impressing in a brief 4-game cup of coffee. The young southpaw displayed poise beyond his years, striking out 29 batters in just over 19 innings.
2026 Outlook: Likely starting the year in Triple-A Worcester or as a swingman, Early is the first line of defense for rotation injuries. His high strikeout rate in the minors suggests significant upside if he gets an extended look. Early's rapid ascent through the minors in 2024, where he posted a 12.3 K/9 across High-A and Double-A, foreshadowed his seamless transition to big-league hitters. If he can maintain his control, he could force his way into the rotation permanently by mid-summer.

AVG, OBP, SLG, ERA and WHIP are season-to-date through each game, not that game alone — so the column reads as a trend and its last value is the season figure. They stay season-to-date when the log is filtered by opponent; the figure for the filtered games is the one in the Total row. The second game of a doubleheader is marked (2).
