Sean Manaea is a starting pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2026 he struck out 144 batters over 150.2 innings across 33 appearances, 19 of them starts, going 6-8. His ERA of 4.78 was 14.3% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 15th of 22 on his team, and 375th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.54 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 22.2% of swings (11.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.1%. 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.
