Brent Suter is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 75 batters over 88.0 innings across 53 appearances, going 3-2. His ERA of 3.48 is 16.8% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 7th of 21 on his team, and 162nd of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.61 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 23.2% of swings (10.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.5%. His 1.0 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.
