Gordon Graceffo is a relief pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2026 he struck out 36 batters over 56.1 innings across 46 appearances, going 7-1. His ERA of 3.04 was 27.3% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the best on his team, and 107th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.45 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 17.3% of swings (7.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.1%. His 0.1 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.
