Ryan Yarbrough is a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees. In 2026 he struck out 49 batters over 63.1 innings across 38 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 3.69 was 11.6% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 11th of 17 on his team, and 204th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.45 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 25.0% of swings (12.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.3%. His 1.0 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.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.
