Drew Pomeranz is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 17 batters over 29.0 innings across 31 appearances, going 2-3. His ERA of 5.59 was 33.8% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 13th of 18 on his team, and 402nd of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.91 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 17.6% of swings (8.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.6%. His -0.7 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.
