Carson Whisenhunt is a starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2026 he struck out 26 batters over 34.2 innings across 8 appearances, 8 of them starts, going 3-4. His ERA of 6.49 is 55.3% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the second worst on his team, and 510th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.38 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 28.2% of swings (12.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.8% 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.
