Ryne Nelson is a starting pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2026 he struck out 66 batters over 87.1 innings across 19 appearances, 15 of them starts, going 3-5. His ERA of 4.95 was 18.3% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 13th of 16 on his team, and 400th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.27 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 21.3% of swings (11.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.6%. 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.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.
