Brant Hurter is a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2026 he struck out 24 batters over 33.2 innings across 28 appearances, going 4-1. His ERA of 2.94 is 29.6% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 5th of 20 on his team, and 86th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.49 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 20.3% of swings (8.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.5%. His 0.5 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.
