Mike Baumann is a relief pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. In 2024 he struck out 58 batters over 58.1 innings across 57 appearances, going 3-1. His ERA of 5.55 was 36.2% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the second worst on his team, and 462nd of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.83 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 24.5% of swings (11.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.0%. 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.
