Sam Moll is a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2026 he struck out 48 batters over 46.1 innings across 54 appearances, going 1-7. His ERA of 4.27 was 2.3% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 9th of 19 on his team, and 279th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.42 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 23.9% of swings (10.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.1%. 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.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
