Jack Kochanowicz is a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 47 batters over 64.0 innings across 13 appearances, 13 of them starts, going 2-5. His ERA of 6.19 is 48.1% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 19th of 21 on his team, and 500th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.98 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.6% of swings (10.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.9%. 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.
