Charlie Morton is a starting pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2025 he struck out 149 batters over 142.0 innings across 33 appearances, 27 of them starts, going 9-11. His ERA of 5.83 was 40.2% higher than the league average of 4.16 — 19th of 23 on his team, and 469th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.96 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 27.9% of swings (13.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.8%. His 0.0 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.
