Gunnar Hoglund is a starting pitcher for the Athletics. In 2025 he struck out 23 batters over 32.1 innings across 6 appearances, 6 of them starts, going 1-3. His ERA of 6.40 was 54.0% higher than the league average of 4.16 — the second worst on his team, and 495th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.75 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.0% of swings (10.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.5%. 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.

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.
