Noah Syndergaard was a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2023 he struck out 56 batters over 88.2 innings across 18 appearances, 18 of them starts, going 2-6. His ERA of 6.50 was 50.0% higher than the league average of 4.33 — 19th of 21 on his team, and 506th of 550 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.20 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 17.9% of swings (8.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.3%. 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.
