Chris Paddack is a starting pitcher for the Miami Marlins. In 2026 he struck out 40 batters over 57.0 innings across 14 appearances, 9 of them starts, going 0-7. His ERA of 6.79 was 62.4% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the worst on his team, and 524th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.86 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 21.3% of swings (10.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.0%. His 0.1 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.
