Chase Burns is a starting pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2026 he struck out 185 batters over 154.1 innings across 29 appearances, 29 of them starts, going 15-3. His ERA of 2.86 was 31.7% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the second best on his team, and 77th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.25 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 32.0% of swings (15.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 29.4%. His 3.5 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.
