Nick Pivetta is a starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2026 he struck out 42 batters over 34.2 innings across 8 appearances, 8 of them starts, going 3-2. His ERA of 2.86 was 31.7% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 6th of 19 on his team, and 76th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.21 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 22.9% of swings (11.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 30.0%. 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.
