Jeffrey Springs is a starting pitcher for the Athletics. In 2026 he struck out 112 batters over 142.2 innings across 29 appearances, 29 of them starts, going 4-14. His ERA of 6.18 was 47.9% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 16th of 18 on his team, and 498th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.03 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 22.9% of swings (10.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.8%. His -0.9 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.
