Drew Thorpe was a starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. In 2024 he struck out 25 batters over 44.1 innings across 9 appearances, 9 of them starts, going 3-3. His ERA of 5.48 was 34.4% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 14th of 19 on his team, and 461st of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.87 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 23.9% of swings (11.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.2%. His -0.4 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.
