Bryan King is a relief pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2026 he struck out 51 batters over 60.2 innings across 60 appearances, going 3-6. His ERA of 5.19 was 24.2% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 14th of 20 on his team, and 417th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.78 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 18.3% of swings (9.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.3%. 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.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.

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.
