Lance Lynn is a starting pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2024 he struck out 109 batters over 117.1 innings across 23 appearances, 23 of them starts, going 7-4. His ERA of 3.84 was 6.0% lower than the league average of 4.08 — 8th of 16 on his team, and 258th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.31 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 24.1% of swings (11.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.3%. His 0.9 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.
