Tanner Bibee is a starting pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians. In 2026 he struck out 110 batters over 138.0 innings across 24 appearances, 24 of them starts, going 4-11. His ERA of 3.85 was 7.9% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 8th of 14 on his team, and 228th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.57 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 24.2% of swings (11.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.7%. His 0.8 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.
