Bryce Elder is a starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2026 he struck out 121 batters over 149.0 innings across 26 appearances, 26 of them starts, going 8-8. His ERA of 4.11 was 1.8% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 11th of 15 on his team, and 281st of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.62 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 21.6% of swings (10.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.1%. His 1.1 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.

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.
