Jordan Montgomery is a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2026 he struck out 17 batters over 23.1 innings across 12 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 4.63 is 10.8% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 12th of 16 on his team, and 363rd of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.22 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 21.5% of swings (10.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.1%. His 0.1 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.
