Blake Snell is a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2026 he struck out 55 batters over 42.2 innings across 9 appearances, 9 of them starts, going 4-1. His ERA of 1.90 was 54.6% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the second best on his team, and 16th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 1.72 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 34.8% of swings (17.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 31.8%. His 1.7 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.
