Ryan Yarbrough is a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees. In 2026 he struck out 30 batters over 44.0 innings across 28 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 3.68 was 11.8% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 9th of 14 on his team, and 205th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.11 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.9% of swings (10.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.8%. 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.
