Taylor Clarke is a relief pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2026 he struck out 45 batters over 73.0 innings across 71 appearances, going 2-4. His ERA of 2.96 was 29.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 5th of 16 on his team, and 87th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.86 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.7% of swings (11.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.6%. His 0.7 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.
