Alex Young is a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2024 he struck out 15 batters over 15.2 innings across 17 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 2.87 was 29.6% lower than the league average of 4.08. Stripping out defence, his 4.25 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 31.7% of swings (14.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.1%. His 0.0 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.

Head to head
Put Alex Young beside up to three others.
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.
