Brad Keller is a relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2026 he struck out 32 batters over 31.1 innings across 32 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 4.02 is 3.8% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 8th of 17 on his team, and 270th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.16 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 22.5% of swings (10.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.7%. 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.
