Emmet Sheehan is a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2026 he struck out 108 batters over 95.1 innings across 20 appearances, 20 of them starts, going 4-8. His ERA of 5.29 was 26.6% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the second worst on his team, and 376th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.74 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 30.8% of swings (15.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.2%. 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.
