Tanner Gordon is a relief pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2026 he struck out 58 batters over 67.1 innings across 16 appearances, going 0-3. His ERA of 5.88 was 40.8% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 12th of 17 on his team, and 411th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.93 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 22.6% of swings (11.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.5%. 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.
