Brendon Little is a relief pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2026 he struck out 21 batters over 15.0 innings across 15 appearances, going 0-3. His ERA of 10.20 was 144.3% higher than the league average of 4.18. Stripping out defence, his 6.75 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 37.7% of swings (16.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 20.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 28.0%. His -0.4 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

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.
