Photo by Duane Burleson/Getty ImagesTanner Houck currently sports an ERA+ of 52. Amongst qualified starters, that is the worst in all of baseball. His 1.695 WHIP is also the worst in the majors. His 66 hits, 39 runs, 8.04 ERA, and 5 HBP are all, also, the worst in the majors. And his bWAR of -1.5 is, naturally, the worst in the majors — and that’s amongst all pitchers, not just qualified starters, meaning that there literally have been 584 pitchers who have been more valuable than Tanner Houck in 2025.
Cue the “Not great, Bob!” meme.
