Ian Gibaut was a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2025 he struck out 15 batters over 25.1 innings across 25 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 4.62 was 11.1% higher than the league average of 4.16 — the worst on his team, and 365th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.44 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 17.0% of swings (8.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.8%. 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.
