Tim Herrin is a relief pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians. In 2026 he struck out 33 batters over 39.1 innings across 48 appearances, going 1-4. His ERA of 3.66 was 12.3% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 7th of 14 on his team, and 201st of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.87 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 30.4% of swings (13.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.3%. His -0.1 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.
