Robby Ahlstrom is a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2026 he struck out 21 batters over 24.2 innings across 29 appearances, going 3-0. His ERA of 4.01 was 3.9% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 8th of 14 on his team, and 248th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.53 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 27.1% of swings (13.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.6%. His 0.3 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.
