Corbin Burnes is a starting pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2025 he struck out 63 batters over 64.1 innings across 11 appearances, 11 of them starts, going 3-2. His ERA of 2.66 was 36.1% lower than the league average of 4.16 — the second best on his team, and 76th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.94 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.7% of swings (11.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.8%. His 0.8 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.
