Simeon Woods Richardson is a starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2026 he struck out 31 batters over 57.2 innings across 15 appearances, 10 of them starts, going 1-7. His ERA of 6.40 was 53.2% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the worst on his team, and 434th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.81 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 18.4% of swings (7.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.7%. His -0.6 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.
