Ryan Pressly was a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In 2025 he struck out 28 batters over 41.1 innings across 44 appearances, going 2-3. His ERA of 4.35 was 4.7% higher than the league average of 4.16 — 12th of 16 on his team, and 328th of 542 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 17.4% of swings (8.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.4%. 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.
