Chase Shugart is a relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2026 he struck out 45 batters over 38.1 innings across 33 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 4.93 was 18.1% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 9th of 16 on his team, and 343rd of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.28 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.4% of swings (10.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 27.4%. His -0.3 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.
