Colten Brewer is a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In 2024 he struck out 22 batters over 20.2 innings across 16 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 5.66 was 38.8% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the second worst on his team, and 471st of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.12 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 26.3% of swings (11.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.2%. His 0.3 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.
