Jose Quintana is a starting pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2026 he struck out 22 batters over 45.0 innings across 10 appearances, 10 of them starts, going 2-3. His ERA of 5.40 is 29.2% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 11th of 21 on his team, and 442nd of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.70 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 20.9% of swings (9.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.1%. His -0.2 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.

BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

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.
