Jason Adam is a relief pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2026 he struck out 22 batters over 34.1 innings across 38 appearances, going 2-2. His ERA of 2.62 is 37.3% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 4th of 19 on his team, and 57th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.85 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 28.5% of swings (14.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.5%. His -0.1 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.
