Elmer Rodríguez is a starting pitcher for the New York Yankees. In 2026 he struck out 10 batters over 17.0 innings across 4 appearances, 4 of them starts, going 0-2. His ERA of 4.76 was 14.1% higher than the league average of 4.18. Stripping out defence, his 5.15 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 27.0% of swings (10.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.0%. His -0.0 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.

Head to head
Put Elmer Rodríguez beside up to three others.
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.
