Grayson Rodriguez is a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 50 batters over 55.0 innings across 12 appearances, 12 of them starts, going 3-5. His ERA of 7.20 was 72.4% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the second worst on his team, and 455th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.09 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.7% of swings (11.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.7%. His -0.0 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.
