Meyer cracked the Marlins' Opening Day rotation and was brilliant in his first five starts, putting up a 2.10 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 41:7 K:BB over 30 innings. The last outing during that stretch saw the righty toss six shutout innings while notching 14 strikeouts and zero walks versus the Reds. Meyer then went into a tailspin, posting a 7.01 ERA across his next seven starts before eventually undergoing season-ending labral repair surgery on his left hip. There's a good chance the hip issue contributed to Meyer's struggles in his last few starts, and the hope is he'll recover to begin the 2026 season on time. Meyer's slider is a devastating pitch that induced whiffs at a 42.4 percent rate in 2025, and he leans on it as his primary offering. However, opponents have teed off on his four-seamer, and while his changeup fared better this past season, it hasn't traditionally been a reliable third pitch. With one excellent pitch and groundball tendencies, the 27-year-old has a foundation to build on, but consistency could continue to allude Meyer until he finds something else in his repertoire he can rely on.
