Drew Rasmussen is a starting pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2026 he struck out 174 batters over 172.0 innings across 30 appearances, 30 of them starts, going 16-5. His ERA of 2.67 was 36.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 4th of 16 on his team, and 60th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.82 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 25.1% of swings (12.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.0%. His 4.8 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.
