Kyle Wright was a starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2023 he struck out 34 batters over 31.0 innings across 9 appearances, 7 of them starts, going 1-3. His ERA of 6.97 was 60.9% higher than the league average of 4.33 — the second worst on his team, and 527th of 550 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.19 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.2% of swings (11.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.9%. His 0.0 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.
