Scouting Report: Moises Lugo
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Seth Lugo, 36-year-old Kansas City Royals right-hander, has experienced a significant decline in performance recently. After a stellar 2024 season (All-Star, 2nd in Cy Young voting, Gold Glove), Lugo has struggled in 2026 with inconsistent starts. He logged back-to-back subpar outings against the White Sox (5 runs, 8 hits, 5 IP) and Guardians (7 runs, 7 hits, 4 walks, 4 IP), allowing 3 first-inning runs in the latter. Despite reaching the 1,000 strikeout milestone, his 2026 ERA stands at 3.76 with a career-worst 1.42 WHIP. Command issues have plagued recent starts with multiple walks and elevated pitch counts.
Strengths
- Reached 1,000 career strikeouts milestone (46th active pitcher)
- Maintains decent 3.21 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 47.2 innings overall
