Ty Madden is a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2026 he struck out 34 batters over 32.0 innings across 12 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 2.25 was 46.1% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the third best on his team, and 37th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.99 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.9% of swings (12.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.4%. 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.
