Davis Martin is a starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. In 2026 he struck out 108 batters over 123.0 innings across 23 appearances, 23 of them starts, going 9-6. His ERA of 4.17 was level with the league average of 4.18 — 10th of 16 on his team, and 264th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.49 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.9% of swings (11.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.8%. His 2.2 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.

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.
