Luke Jackson was a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2025 he struck out 38 batters over 51.0 innings across 52 appearances, going 2-5. His ERA of 4.06 was 2.4% lower than the league average of 4.16 — 12th of 15 on his team, and 284th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.49 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.7% of swings (10.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.4%. His 0.0 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.
