Erik Sabrowski is a relief pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians. In 2026 he struck out 53 batters over 32.1 innings across 43 appearances, going 4-2. His ERA of 3.62 was 13.3% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 6th of 14 on his team, and 190th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.33 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 31.3% of swings (14.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 17.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 37.1%. His 0.5 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.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
