Is Merrill Kelly the Most UNDERRATED Pitcher in Baseball? MLB Thinks So

Diamondbacks fans have always known how valuable Merrill Kelly is, but now the rest of MLB is catching up. After being named to MLB’s 2026 All-Underrated Team, we break down where Kelly truly stacks up among the league’s best starters and why he continues to be one of baseball’s most quietly dominant pitchers.

We’re also joined by D-backs pitching prospect Kohl Drake, who opens up about his journey through the minors, his pitch mix, and what it’s really like becoming teammates with the player you were traded for just months earlier. Plus, we’ve got the latest World Baseball Classic roster updates and why Damon’s Dominican Republic squad might be the biggest threat to Team USA.
