Tyler Kinley is a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2026 he struck out 48 batters over 57.1 innings across 64 appearances, going 7-5. His ERA of 3.45 was 17.4% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 10th of 15 on his team, and 159th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.21 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 27.1% of swings (12.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.7%. 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.
