Andrew Heaney is a starting pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2025 he struck out 86 batters over 122.1 innings across 27 appearances, 23 of them starts, going 5-10. His ERA of 5.52 was 32.7% higher than the league average of 4.16 — 17th of 19 on his team, and 450th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.59 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 19.9% of swings (9.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.0%. His -0.8 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.
