Shane McClanahan is a starting pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2026 he struck out 91 batters over 99.0 innings across 20 appearances, 20 of them starts, going 9-6. His ERA of 3.09 was 26.0% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 6th of 15 on his team, and 115th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.35 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 27.0% of swings (13.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.2%. His 1.9 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.
