Connor Phillips is a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2026 he struck out 29 batters over 30.0 innings across 27 appearances, going 2-0. His ERA of 5.40 was 29.1% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 15th of 20 on his team, and 439th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.87 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.1% of swings (10.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 21.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.0%. His -0.4 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.

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.
