Aaron Ashby is a relief pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2026 he struck out 94 batters over 65.2 innings across 55 appearances, going 13-2. His ERA of 3.56 was 14.7% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 9th of 16 on his team, and 178th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.81 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 32.9% of swings (13.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 32.4%. His 1.3 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.
