Raisel Iglesias is a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2026 he struck out 48 batters over 42.2 innings across 42 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 2.95 was 29.3% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 6th of 13 on his team, and 104th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.97 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 30.7% of swings (16.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 27.6%. 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.
