Kyle Bradish is a starting pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2026 he struck out 121 batters over 127.0 innings across 23 appearances, 23 of them starts, going 7-11. His ERA of 3.69 was 11.8% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 6th of 16 on his team, and 207th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.86 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 24.8% of swings (11.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.6%. His 1.7 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.
