Hoby Milner is a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In 2026 he struck out 25 batters over 42.0 innings across 44 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 3.64 was 12.9% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 7th of 16 on his team, and 189th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.39 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 19.0% of swings (8.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.1%. 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.
