Fraser Ellard is a relief pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. In 2025 he struck out 22 batters over 17.0 innings across 18 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 4.24 was 1.8% higher than the league average of 4.16. Stripping out defence, his 4.84 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 34.1% of swings (14.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 25.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 29.7%. His -0.0 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.
