Alex Wood is a starting pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2024 he struck out 33 batters over 39.1 innings across 9 appearances, 9 of them starts, going 1-3. His ERA of 5.26 was 29.0% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 21st of 23 on his team, and 444th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.30 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 20.7% of swings (8.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.7%. His -0.1 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.
