Scouting Report: Sandy Alcantara
Miami Marlins | SP
Overall
Summary
Sandy Alcantara has shown improvement in 2026 compared to 2025 following Tommy John surgery in 2024, posting a 3.90 ERA with 39 strikeouts through 57.2 innings. However, his strikeout rate has declined significantly from his peak years (200+ K in 2021-2022), currently on pace for far fewer. His changeup, historically his best weapon, has been inconsistent, allowing multiple extra-base hits while still generating some whiffs. He's been mostly strong with 7 of 9 quality starts, but has had two outings allowing 7 earned runs (April 7 vs Reds, May 6 vs Orioles). Recent performance shows resilience with a quality start against the Nationals on May 10 despite changeup struggles. Trade rumors link him to the Blue Jays as Toronto seeks rotation help.
Strengths
- Improved 2026 performance compared to 2025
