Matt Wilkinson is a starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2026 he struck out 20 batters over 27.2 innings across 8 appearances, 6 of them starts, going 1-3. His ERA of 3.58 was 14.4% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 5th of 25 on his team, and 172nd of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.55 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 18.5% of swings (8.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.2%. His 0.2 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.
