Tyler Holton is a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2026 he struck out 55 batters over 72.0 innings across 67 appearances, going 2-5. His ERA of 2.75 was 34.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the third best on his team, and 68th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.06 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 23.4% of swings (11.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.3%. His 0.5 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.

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.
