Robert Suarez is a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2026 he struck out 26 batters over 32.0 innings across 31 appearances, going 4-0. His ERA of 0.56 was 86.5% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the best on his team, and the best among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.43 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 24.0% of swings (12.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.5%. His 0.8 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.

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.
