Spencer Strider is a starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2026 he struck out 46 batters over 39.0 innings across 8 appearances, 8 of them starts, going 4-2. His ERA of 5.31 was 26.9% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the second worst on his team, and 431st of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.36 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 30.7% of swings (14.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 27.9%. His -0.0 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.
