River Ryan is a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2024 he struck out 18 batters over 20.1 innings across 4 appearances, 4 of them starts, going 1-0. His ERA of 1.33 was 67.4% lower than the league average of 4.08 — the best on his team, and 6th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.36 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 23.9% of swings (11.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.2%. 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.
