Gunnar Hoglund is a starting pitcher for the Athletics. In 2025 he struck out 23 batters over 32.1 innings across 6 appearances, 6 of them starts, going 1-3. His ERA of 6.40 was 54.0% higher than the league average of 4.16 — the second worst on his team, and 495th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.75 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.0% of swings (10.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.5%. His -0.6 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.
