Carmen Mlodzinski is a relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2026 he struck out 77 batters over 97.1 innings across 26 appearances, going 6-4. His ERA of 3.51 was 15.9% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the third best on his team, and 168th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.62 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 21.1% of swings (9.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.4%. His 1.3 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.
