Matt Gage is a relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2026 he struck out 22 batters over 27.1 innings across 34 appearances, going 4-1. His ERA of 5.60 was 34.0% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 14th of 16 on his team, and 403rd of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.31 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 24.4% of swings (11.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.5%. His -0.5 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.
