Reese Olson is a starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2025 he struck out 65 batters over 68.2 innings across 13 appearances, 13 of them starts, going 4-4. His ERA of 3.15 was 24.4% lower than the league average of 4.16 — 6th of 16 on his team, and 146th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.50 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 29.7% of swings (13.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.8%. His 1.2 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.
