Tyler Glasnow is a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2026 he struck out 49 batters over 39.2 innings across 7 appearances, 7 of them starts, going 3-0. His ERA of 2.72 was 34.8% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 4th of 15 on his team, and 76th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.24 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 29.8% of swings (12.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 33.1%. His 0.8 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.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
