Porter Hodge is a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In 2025 he struck out 40 batters over 33.0 innings across 36 appearances, going 2-2. His ERA of 6.27 was 50.8% higher than the league average of 4.16 — the worst on his team, and 488th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.89 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 26.7% of swings (12.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 27.2%. His -0.5 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.
