Luke Weaver is a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2026 he struck out 64 batters over 59.1 innings across 59 appearances, going 4-1. His ERA of 2.73 is 34.6% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the third best on his team, and 66th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.00 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 30.1% of swings (16.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 27.2%. His 1.2 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.
