Cody Bradford is a starting pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2026 he struck out 21 batters over 43.0 innings across 9 appearances, 8 of them starts, going 0-5. His ERA of 4.19 is level with the league average of 4.18 — 7th of 16 on his team, and 291st of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.40 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 17.8% of swings (8.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.2%. His 0.4 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.
