Luke Weaver is a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2026 he struck out 65 batters over 60.1 innings across 60 appearances, going 4-1. His ERA of 2.69 was 35.8% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the third best on his team, and 62nd of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.97 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 30.3% of swings (16.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 27.3%. 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.
