Here are the latest publicly reported stats for Craig Kimbrel as of early May 2026:
- 2026 season (through about early May): ERA around 3.68, innings about 7.1, 9 strikeouts, 1.36 WHIP, with a couple of decisions in 8 appearances.
- 2025 season: ERA around 2.25 across about 12 innings in limited relief, 17 strikeouts, WHIP near 1.42, 0–1 record.
- Career highlights: long-time closer with 400+ career saves to date, remaining among active leaders in saves.
Notes:
- Kimbrel signed with the New York Mets for the 2026 season and has worked in closer and high-leverage roles for several seasons, though his usage and effectiveness have varied by year.
- Fantasy and advanced metrics (e.g., xwOBA, hard-hit rate, and pitch clock adjustments) have shown fluctuations with age and league changes, but he remains a experienced closer when deployed in save situations.
If you’d like, I can pull a single-page snapshot with current year-by-year stats, recent game logs, and a quick visual (chart) of his saves and ERA trends.
