Cam Sanders is a relief pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2026 he struck out 40 batters over 29.1 innings across 28 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 4.60 is 10.2% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 15th of 17 on his team, and 359th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.27 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 37.0% of swings (16.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 15.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 30.5%. 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.
