Carson Whisenhunt is a starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2026 he struck out 20 batters over 22.1 innings across 5 appearances, 5 of them starts, going 2-3. His ERA of 7.25 was 73.7% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the second worst on his team, and 457th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.64 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 30.9% of swings (15.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.0%. 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.
