Gavin Collyer is a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2026 he struck out 23 batters over 25.0 innings across 24 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 5.40 is 29.2% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 14th of 16 on his team, and 444th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.30 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 25.5% of swings (9.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.4%. 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.

Gavin Collyer's arsenal by usage. Velocity is average release speed in mph, spin in rpm, and whiff rate is misses per swing — the cleanest single measure of whether a pitch beats hitters. BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

How these are computed

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.
