Dane Dunning was a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2025 he struck out 21 batters over 20.2 innings across 12 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 6.97 was 67.6% higher than the league average of 4.16 — the second worst on his team, and 514th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.07 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 25.1% of swings (11.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.1%. His -0.1 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.
