Shane McClanahan is a starting pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2026 he struck out 106 batters over 118.0 innings across 24 appearances, 24 of them starts, going 10-7. His ERA of 3.36 was 19.7% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 7th of 16 on his team, and 146th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.50 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 26.8% of swings (13.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.8%. His 2.4 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.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.
