Top 5 Worst Pitchers From The 2025 Season

The award chatter will celebrate aces like Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes, but Tim Kelly’s Bleacher Report list spotlighted the other end of the spectrum: five pitchers whose 2025 seasons unraveled by results, run prevention, and peripherals (minimum 100 IP for starters, 40 IP for relievers).

5) Génesis Cabrera 

(Mets/Cubs/Pirates/Twins): A whirlwind year across four clubs ended with a 6.54 ERA, 6.56 FIP in 42.2 IP (–0.9 WAR). A brief Mets blip (3.52 ERA) couldn’t offset rough stints in Chicago and Minnesota, likely pointing him to a minor-league deal next spring. 

4) Antonio Senzatela 

(Colorado Rockies): One of MLB’s least effective qualifiers: 6.65 ERA, 5.48 FIP in 130 IP, bottom-five in ERA, hits allowed (192), and losses (15). He even fared worse on the road (7.15 ERA) than at Coors. 

3) Germán Márquez 

(Rockies): In his first full year post–Tommy John, the former All-Star posted 3–16, 6.70 ERA, 5.47 FIP in 126.1 IP (0.3 WAR); after a decade in Denver, he’s likely hunting a non-roster invite. 

2) Jack Kochanowicz 

(Los Angeles Angels): After a promising 2024 cameo, he cratered to an MLB-worst line among the starters considered: 6.81 ERA, 6.05 FIP in 111 IP (–0.6 WAR), a snapshot of the Angels’ long-running development woes. 

1) Jordan Romano 

(Philadelphia Phillies): The two-time All-Star’s bounce-back bet flopped: 8.23 ERA, 5.39 FIP in 42.2 IP (–0.4 WAR) with 10 homers allowed and an infamous walk-off inside-the-park HR; he finished on the IL and never took a postseason bow.
