MLB Pitcher Rankings 2026 — ERA, WHIP, K/9 and P-Score

This board ranks every starting pitcher with at least 5 games started and 15 innings this season — our qualification threshold for P-Score, our 0–100 season-strength index. Season statistics refresh after each completed game; P-Score is recalculated on the same schedule. Form is one pillar, and inactivity slightly reduces the published number. Contract figures are deliberately absent here and live in the contract-value section instead.

Frequently asked

How is P-Score calculated?+

It combines Results, Run Prevention, Strikeouts & Control, Consistency and Form into a 0–100 index, normalized within the qualified pool. After that, inactivity slightly reduces the published number. Exact weights are proprietary, but the pillar results appear on every pitcher profile.

Who qualifies for this board?+

Starting pitchers with 5 games started and 15 innings. That is the same threshold used to publish a P-Score. There are currently 224 qualified starters.

Who leads in P-Score?+

Chris Sale at 89. P-Score is our 0–100 season-strength index for qualified starters.

Who leads in ERA?+

Shohei Ohtani at 1.79 across 85.2 innings.

What does Last-5 ERA tell me?+

It is a form indicator from a pitcher's last five starts, not a projection. Treat a large gap between season and last-five ERA as a signal to look at the profile.

How do the trend arrows work?+

Arrows show the difference versus the previously published P-Score. Trending up requires a gain of two or more points; trending down requires a drop of two or more. Rank movement is not mixed in.
