About this page

One major-league player published here was born in Peru, and he appeared between 2019 and 2026. 1 of them was on a major-league roster in 2026. Together they are worth 18.1 dbWAR, on 0 home runs and 996 strikeouts thrown.

The most valuable of them by our own measure is Jesús Luzardo, worth 18.1 dbWAR across 2019–2026. His best year was 2026, at 5.3 WAR. Jesús Luzardo has been in the majors longest of anyone here, since 2019.

Jesús Luzardo has thrown the most strikeouts, 996. The hardest ball anyone from here has struck came off Jesús Luzardo's bat at 90.0 mph, in 2021. These are totals over the seasons published here rather than whole careers: a player who debuted before 2019 arrives mid-career, and his numbers start where the archive does.

In 2026 they are spread across one club, Philadelphia Phillies.

Country here means country of birth, taken from each player's biographical record. It is not nationality and not who a player has represented internationally — the three disagree often enough to matter, and birthplace is the one this data actually holds. Every rate statistic and every dbWAR figure is computed from play-by-play using constants measured from each season's own data, so the numbers are era-correct without being copied from anywhere.
