Bennett Sousa is a relief pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2026 he struck out 32 batters over 30.0 innings across 35 appearances, going 1-3. His ERA of 6.00 was 43.5% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 17th of 20 on his team, and 487th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.94 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 31.0% of swings (15.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.7%. 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.

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.
