Gavin Stone was a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2024 he struck out 116 batters over 140.1 innings across 25 appearances, 25 of them starts, going 11-5. His ERA of 3.53 was 13.5% lower than the league average of 4.08 — 10th of 21 on his team, and 188th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.01 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 24.7% of swings (12.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.0%. His 1.7 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.

Gavin Stone's arsenal by usage. Velocity is average release speed in mph, spin in rpm, and whiff rate is misses per swing — the cleanest single measure of whether a pitch beats hitters. BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

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.
