Bryan Abreu is a relief pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2026 he struck out 55 batters over 42.0 innings across 45 appearances, going 4-3. His ERA of 4.29 was 2.6% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 9th of 17 on his team, and 282nd of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.99 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 32.7% of swings (13.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 30.2%. 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.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
