Angel Chivilli

Performance Analysis

Production at RP earns Angel Chivilli a F performance grade in the current MLB sample. Through two games in the 2026 season, Chivilli has recorded 3 strikeouts with no decisions — a minimal audition that places him squarely in developmental territory rather than as a meaningful contributor to a contending bullpen. His fastball velocity carries legitimate appeal (97 MPH per his Triple-A profile), which explains the organizational confidence that led to his mid-offseason acquisition from Colorado, but that raw stuff has yet to translate into meaningful results at the major-league level. The lack of a workload — just two appearances — means there is simply no body of evidence to grade from, and the enthusiasm surrounding his promotion remains entirely prospect-driven rather than production-driven. As a third-year player on a rookie scale contract entering a stretch run with the Yankees sitting at 56-44 and fighting for playoff positioning, Chivilli is being asked to contribute as a backend bullpen option, but the performance grade reflects reality: he has not earned that trust on the field yet. The gap between the cautiously optimistic sentiment around his call-up and his basement-level performance grade will close only if he begins logging meaningful innings with strikeout rates that justify the pre-debut hype.
