Clayton Beeter is a relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2026 he struck out 47 batters over 48.0 innings across 50 appearances, going 6-5. His ERA of 4.50 is 7.7% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 11th of 18 on his team, and 340th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.44 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 28.2% of swings (12.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.5%. 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.
