Bryan King is a relief pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2026 he struck out 40 batters over 49.1 innings across 47 appearances, going 2-3. His ERA of 3.83 was 8.3% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 7th of 17 on his team, and 227th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.65 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 17.9% of swings (9.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.5%. His -0.0 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.
