Tyler Kinley is a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2026 he struck out 48 batters over 56.2 innings across 63 appearances, going 7-5. His ERA of 3.49 is 16.4% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 9th of 15 on his team, and 165th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.24 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 27.4% of swings (12.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.0%. 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.
