Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Evan Sisk is a left-handed relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates who has made an impressive start to the 2026 season. After being acquired from the Kansas City Royals at the 2025 trade deadline, Sisk has posted a 1.42 ERA through 15 appearances with a 1.00 WHIP and .209 opposing batting average. He has allowed only three earned runs this season. Despite throwing below-average velocity (fastball and sinker averaging 91 mph vs. league average of 93 mph), Sisk has found success through his unique release point and delivery that creates deception and movement on his pitches, making it difficult for batters to square up. He maintains strong strikeout rates (31.3% K% in limited MLB action) and has reduced his walk rate to 6.8%. His pitch arsenal includes a curveball, sinker, and four-seamer, and he excels at limiting hard and quality contact with a 4.7% barrel rate.
