Tyler Alexander is a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2026 he struck out 59 batters over 71.0 innings across 73 appearances, going 5-2. His ERA of 3.55 is 15.0% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the third best on his team, and 173rd of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.09 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 20.7% of swings (9.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.5%. His 1.3 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.
