Ryan Weathers is a starting pitcher for the New York Yankees. In 2026 he struck out 132 batters over 121.0 innings across 22 appearances, 22 of them starts, going 5-7. His ERA of 3.79 was 9.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 10th of 14 on his team, and 219th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.65 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 27.4% of swings (12.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.2%. His 1.9 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.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
