Quinn Mathews is a starting pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2026 he struck out 3 batters over 5.0 innings across 1 appearance, 1 of them starts, going 0-1. His ERA of 3.60 was 13.8% lower than the league average of 4.18. Stripping out defence, his 3.69 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 25.5% of swings (12.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.5%. 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.

Head to head
Put Quinn Mathews beside up to three others.
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.
