Pete Fairbanks is a relief pitcher for the Miami Marlins. In 2026 he struck out 57 batters over 41.1 innings across 46 appearances, going 4-5. His ERA of 6.31 was 51.0% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the second worst on his team, and 503rd of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.60 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 31.9% of swings (14.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 31.1%. His 0.0 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.

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.
