Kohl Drake is a starting pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2026 he struck out 13 batters over 16.2 innings across 4 appearances, 4 of them starts, going 0-1. His ERA of 5.40 was 29.3% higher than the league average of 4.18. Stripping out defence, his 5.49 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 21.5% of swings (9.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.9%. 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.
