Kyle Finnegan is a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2026 he struck out 47 batters over 60.2 innings across 63 appearances, going 3-1. His ERA of 4.30 is 3.0% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 14th of 20 on his team, and 310th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.43 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.2% of swings (12.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.4%. His -0.5 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.
