Josh Hendrickson is a relief pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2026 he struck out 3 batters over 2.2 innings across 2 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 3.38 was 19.3% lower than the league average of 4.18. Stripping out defence, his 0.85 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 40.0% of swings (17.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 0.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 33.3%. His 0.1 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.

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.
