Grant Taylor is a relief pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. In 2026 he struck out 106 batters over 84.0 innings across 60 appearances, going 7-3. His ERA of 2.25 is 46.1% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the second best on his team, and 37th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.77 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 29.4% of swings (13.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 31.5%. His 1.9 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.
