Kohl Drake is a starting pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2026 he struck out 17 batters over 20.2 innings across 5 appearances, 5 of them starts, going 0-1. His ERA of 6.53 is 56.4% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the worst on his team, and 511th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.20 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 22.0% of swings (9.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.9%. 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.
