Brent Suter is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 56 batters over 65.1 innings across 42 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 4.13 was 1.0% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 9th of 18 on his team, and 259th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.64 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 22.8% of swings (10.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.4%. His 0.7 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.
