Reynaldo López is a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2026 he struck out 73 batters over 79.1 innings across 26 appearances, going 4-5. His ERA of 4.54 is 8.6% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 12th of 15 on his team, and 348th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.39 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 22.3% of swings (10.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.1%. His 0.6 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.
