Kade Anderson is a starting pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. In 2026 he struck out 21 batters over 25.1 innings across 5 appearances, 5 of them starts, going 1-2. His ERA of 5.33 is 27.3% higher than the league average of 4.19 — 14th of 16 on his team, and 427th of 527 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.44 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 22.4% of swings (12.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.6%. His 0.2 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.
