Josh Staumont is a relief pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2024 he struck out 18 batters over 24.1 innings across 25 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 3.70 was 9.3% lower than the league average of 4.08 — 7th of 18 on his team, and 226th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.54 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 25.9% of swings (11.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.6%. 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.

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.
