Declan Cronin is a relief pitcher for the Miami Marlins. In 2024 he struck out 72 batters over 70.1 innings across 56 appearances, going 3-4. His ERA of 4.35 was 6.7% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 9th of 24 on his team, and 335th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.58 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 26.6% of swings (12.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.5%. His 1.6 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.
