Spencer Arrighetti is a starting pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2026 he struck out 87 batters over 88.0 innings across 17 appearances, 17 of them starts, going 7-5. His ERA of 4.60 was 10.2% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 11th of 17 on his team, and 318th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.06 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.4% of swings (10.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.5%. His 0.0 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.
