Brooks Raley is a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2026 he struck out 43 batters over 44.1 innings across 48 appearances, going 5-5. His ERA of 2.23 was 46.5% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the second best on his team, and 36th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.31 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.9% of swings (10.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.6%. His 0.6 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.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
