Graham Ashcraft is a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2026 he struck out 32 batters over 27.0 innings across 26 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 3.33 was 20.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 5th of 19 on his team, and 136th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.46 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 32.4% of swings (14.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 29.4%. 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.
