Sam Aldegheri is a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 22 batters over 33.2 innings across 9 appearances, 6 of them starts, going 3-4. His ERA of 5.08 was 21.6% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 12th of 18 on his team, and 356th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.31 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 20.4% of swings (9.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.6%. His -0.1 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.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
