Jake Bloss is a starting pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2024 he struck out 11 batters over 11.2 innings across 3 appearances, 3 of them starts, going 0-1. His ERA of 6.94 was 70.2% higher than the league average of 4.08. Stripping out defence, his 7.62 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 23.4% of swings (12.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.0%. His -0.4 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 Jake Bloss 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.
