Brant Hurter is a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2026 he struck out 18 batters over 25.1 innings across 21 appearances, going 4-1. His ERA of 2.84 was 31.9% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 6th of 17 on his team, and 91st of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.72 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 20.5% of swings (8.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.8%. His 0.3 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.
