David Morgan is a relief pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2026 he struck out 26 batters over 22.0 innings across 18 appearances, going 2-0. His ERA of 4.50 was 7.8% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 11th of 18 on his team, and 302nd of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.09 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 32.0% of swings (16.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 24.8%. 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.
