Kaleb Ort is a relief pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2025 he struck out 49 batters over 46.0 innings across 49 appearances, going 2-2. His ERA of 4.89 was 17.6% higher than the league average of 4.16 — 14th of 20 on his team, and 403rd of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.03 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 29.2% of swings (13.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 25.3%. 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.
