Shaun Anderson is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 17 batters over 20.0 innings across 12 appearances, going 2-0. His ERA of 7.65 was 83.2% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the worst on his team, and 464th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.64 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 26.6% of swings (12.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.3%. His -0.2 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.
