Drew Sommers is a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2026 he struck out 29 batters over 19.1 innings across 26 appearances, going 0-2. His ERA of 3.72 was 10.8% lower than the league average of 4.18. Stripping out defence, his 2.98 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 31.4% of swings (16.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 34.5%. His 0.4 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

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.
