Dakota Hudson was a starting pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2024 he struck out 49 batters over 89.0 innings across 18 appearances, 18 of them starts, going 2-12. His ERA of 6.17 was 51.2% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 13th of 18 on his team, and 492nd of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.53 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 18.6% of swings (7.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.1%. His -0.3 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.
