Garrett Cleavinger is a relief pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2026 he struck out 54 batters over 41.1 innings across 51 appearances, going 4-4. His ERA of 4.79 is 14.7% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 13th of 16 on his team, and 378th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.12 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 28.3% of swings (13.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 29.8%. 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.
