Miles Mikolas is a relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2026 he struck out 58 batters over 116.0 innings across 25 appearances, going 3-9. His ERA of 5.82 is 39.3% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 14th of 18 on his team, and 472nd of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.77 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 14.5% of swings (7.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.6%. His -1.0 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.
