Craig Yoho is a relief pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians. In 2026 he struck out 41 batters over 38.0 innings across 33 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 4.50 is 7.7% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 12th of 15 on his team, and 338th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.65 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 28.6% of swings (13.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 25.6%. 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.
