Clayton Beeter is a relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2026 he struck out 37 batters over 36.0 innings across 38 appearances, going 5-3. His ERA of 3.75 was 10.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 5th of 15 on his team, and 212th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.28 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 27.7% of swings (12.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 15.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 24.3%. His -0.3 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.
