Austin Cox is a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2025 he struck out 22 batters over 21.1 innings across 13 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 8.86 was 113.0% higher than the league average of 4.16 — the worst on his team, and 539th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 7.54 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 18.4% of swings (8.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.6%. His -0.7 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.
