Trevor McDonald is a starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2026 he struck out 57 batters over 70.1 innings across 14 appearances, 14 of them starts, going 3-7. His ERA of 5.12 is 22.5% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 22nd of 25 on his team, and 414th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.27 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 21.3% of swings (9.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.4%. His 0.8 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.
