Matt Manning is a starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2024 he struck out 23 batters over 27.2 innings across 5 appearances, 5 of them starts, going 0-1. His ERA of 4.88 was 19.6% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 19th of 21 on his team, and 401st of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.21 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.6% of swings (11.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.7%. His 0.2 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.
