Mason Englert is a relief pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2026 he struck out 32 batters over 35.2 innings across 14 appearances, going 0-3. His ERA of 4.54 was 8.8% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 12th of 15 on his team, and 308th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.33 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 23.9% of swings (12.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.4%. 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.
