Connor Prielipp is a starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2026 he struck out 88 batters over 82.2 innings across 16 appearances, 16 of them starts, going 3-5. His ERA of 4.79 was 14.7% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 11th of 16 on his team, and 329th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.03 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.5% of swings (11.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 24.7%. His 1.0 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.
