Ryan Pepiot is a starting pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2025 he struck out 167 batters over 167.2 innings across 31 appearances, 31 of them starts, going 11-12. His ERA of 3.86 was 7.1% lower than the league average of 4.16 — 11th of 16 on his team, and 252nd of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.36 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 26.0% of swings (13.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 24.6%. His 1.3 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.
