Edward Cabrera is a starting pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In 2026 he struck out 71 batters over 80.0 innings across 18 appearances, 15 of them starts, going 5-5. His ERA of 5.96 was 42.6% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the second worst on his team, and 485th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.35 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 26.5% of swings (12.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.3%. His -0.2 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.

How these are computed

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.
