Khristian Curtis is a relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2026 he struck out 13 batters over 21.0 innings across 6 appearances, going 2-0. His ERA of 4.71 is 12.8% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 11th of 15 on his team, and 370th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.34 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.5% of swings (10.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.9%. 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.
