Beau Brieske is a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2026 he struck out 21 batters over 22.2 innings across 17 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 4.76 is 14.0% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 17th of 20 on his team, and 375th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.91 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 21.2% of swings (10.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.1%. 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.
