Brandyn Garcia is a relief pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2026 he struck out 60 batters over 51.1 innings across 57 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 1.93 was 53.9% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the best on his team, and 20th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.58 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 26.9% of swings (11.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 31.3%. His 1.3 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.

BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

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.
