Casey Mize is a starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2026 he struck out 110 batters over 131.1 innings across 26 appearances, 26 of them starts, going 6-10. His ERA of 4.32 was 3.3% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 15th of 20 on his team, and 316th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.15 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 23.2% of swings (11.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.0%. His 1.6 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.
