Gavin Stone is a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2024 he struck out 116 batters over 140.1 innings across 25 appearances, 25 of them starts, going 11-5. His ERA of 3.53 was 13.5% lower than the league average of 4.08 — 10th of 21 on his team, and 188th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.01 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 24.7% of swings (12.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.0%. His 1.5 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.
