Robbie Ray is a starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2026 he struck out 140 batters over 165.2 innings across 31 appearances, 30 of them starts, going 13-8. His ERA of 3.59 was 14.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 7th of 25 on his team, and 174th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.70 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 24.6% of swings (11.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.9%. His 0.9 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.
