Alec Marsh is a starting pitcher for the Kansas City Royals. In 2024 he struck out 123 batters over 129.0 innings across 26 appearances, 25 of them starts, going 9-9. His ERA of 4.53 was 11.2% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 12th of 15 on his team, and 368th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.34 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 23.5% of swings (11.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.4%. His 0.9 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.
