Tanner Rainey is a relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2025 he struck out 11 batters over 9.2 innings across 13 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 11.17 was 168.7% higher than the league average of 4.16. Stripping out defence, his 3.96 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 34.3% of swings (16.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 19.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.4%. 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.

Head to head
Put Tanner Rainey beside up to three others.
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.
