Zack Littell, a unique pitcher in Major League Baseball, is set to enter free agency. Despite his cutter and splitter being his worst-performing pitches, Littell consistently got outs for the Cincinnati Reds in 2025. His success is attributed to excellent control, deception, and durability. ESPNs Kiley McDaniel projects a two-year, $18 million contract, but Littells unconventional path to success makes him an odd pitcher to evaluate. The Reds may consider re-signing him, but other teams could also be interested. Littells ability to perform without overpowering stuff makes him a valuable asset, and his career is poised for a solid next five to seven years.
