Pete Fairbanks is a relief pitcher for the Miami Marlins. In 2026 he struck out 50 batters over 36.1 innings across 39 appearances, going 3-4. His ERA of 6.19 was 48.3% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the second worst on his team, and 428th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.77 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 30.9% of swings (14.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 31.3%. His -0.1 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.
