Cade Povich is a starting pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2026 he struck out 28 batters over 37.0 innings across 8 appearances, 7 of them starts, going 2-1. His ERA of 4.38 is 4.8% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 13th of 17 on his team, and 322nd of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.99 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.6% of swings (10.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.5%. 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.
