J.T. Ginn is a starting pitcher for the Athletics. In 2026 he struck out 107 batters over 121.1 innings across 24 appearances, 21 of them starts, going 8-6. His ERA of 3.41 was 18.3% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the best on his team, and 149th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.22 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 27.4% of swings (12.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.1%. 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.

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.
