Connor Phillips is a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2026 he struck out 28 batters over 27.2 innings across 25 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 5.53 was 32.4% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 17th of 19 on his team, and 398th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.83 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 26.8% of swings (10.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 21.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.1%. His -0.4 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.
