Taylor Hearn was a relief pitcher for the Kansas City Royals. In 2023 he struck out 15 batters over 15.0 innings across 13 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 11.40 was 163.2% higher than the league average of 4.33. Stripping out defence, his 6.32 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.0% of swings (12.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.7%. His -0.3 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.

Head to head
Put Taylor Hearn beside up to three others.
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.
