Joe La Sorsa is a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In 2026 he struck out 1 batter over 0.1 innings across 1 appearance, going 0-0. His ERA of 27.00 was 545.7% higher than the league average of 4.18. Stripping out defence, his 36.10 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 0.0% of swings, walked 0.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 50.0%. His -0.1 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.

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.
