Tyler Wells is a relief pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2026 he struck out 72 batters over 72.0 innings across 57 appearances, going 5-2. His ERA of 2.38 was 43.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the second best on his team, and 38th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.38 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 30.6% of swings (16.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.0%. His 1.1 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.
