Ethan Pecko is a starting pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2026 he struck out 23 batters over 34.1 innings across 8 appearances, 5 of them starts, going 2-0. His ERA of 3.93 was 6.0% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 8th of 20 on his team, and 253rd of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.05 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 21.2% of swings (9.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.4%. 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.
