Mason Miller is a relief pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2026 he struck out 91 batters over 49.1 innings across 47 appearances, going 4-1. His ERA of 0.91 was 78.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the best on his team, and the second best among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 0.49 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 47.1% of swings (22.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 48.4%. His 2.3 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.
