Liam Hendriks was a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In 2025 he struck out 12 batters over 13.2 innings across 14 appearances, going 0-2. His ERA of 6.59 was 58.4% higher than the league average of 4.16. Stripping out defence, his 5.04 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 29.6% of swings (13.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.3%. His -0.1 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.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.
