"It took a little bit for Bello to get going after a brief IL stint to open the season, but from mid-June though August, he was on a roll. Funny how so many things got better in the middle of June. I wonder what changed? Anyway, over a span of 14 starts Bello had an ERA/FIP split of 2.42/3.80 for 89 innings."
"They needed to win one more game of the two remaining to advance. Obviously the next round would be even more uncertain but we're not discussing that. Bello was gifted a rested 'pen and just needed to hang in long enough for them to cover some ground. In the first inning he got two quick outs and then gave up a single and a home run to Ben Rice. The game was basically over at that point."
Brayan Bello entered 2025 aiming to advance as a starter. The Red Sox planned Garret Crochet and Tanner Houck as the top two starters while Bello, Lucas Giolito, and Walker Buehler targeted the 3-5 rotation slots. Rotation injuries and inconsistency increased Bello’s workload. After a brief IL stint he improved from mid-June through August, posting a 2.42 ERA and 3.80 FIP across 89 innings in 14 starts. Bello recorded 71 strikeouts, 22 walks, and 68 hits allowed, including nine home runs. Bello proved valuable yet limited, and a short Wild Card start exposed endurance concerns.
