Kyle Hendricks was a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2025 he struck out 114 batters over 164.2 innings across 31 appearances, 31 of them starts, going 8-10. His ERA of 4.76 was 14.3% higher than the league average of 4.16 — 11th of 18 on his team, and 387th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.60 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 18.3% of swings (8.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.4%. His 1.2 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.
