Grayson Rodriguez is a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 85 batters over 98.2 innings across 20 appearances, 20 of them starts, going 5-8. His ERA of 6.02 was 44.0% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 18th of 22 on his team, and 488th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.01 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.9% of swings (11.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.1%. His 0.2 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.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.

Grayson Rodriguez's arsenal by usage. Velocity is average release speed in mph, spin in rpm, and whiff rate is misses per swing — the cleanest single measure of whether a pitch beats hitters. BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

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.
