Tyler Anderson is a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2025 he struck out 104 batters over 136.1 innings across 26 appearances, 26 of them starts, going 2-8. His ERA of 4.56 was 9.5% higher than the league average of 4.16 — 8th of 18 on his team, and 359th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.60 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.0% of swings (12.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.4%. His -0.8 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.
