Keegan Akin is a relief pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2026 he struck out 17 batters over 25.1 innings across 24 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 5.68 was 36.1% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 14th of 16 on his team, and 406th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.35 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 19.3% of swings (9.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.9%. 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.
