Tomoyuki Sugano is a starting pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2026 he struck out 61 batters over 107.2 innings across 20 appearances, 20 of them starts, going 11-5. His ERA of 4.51 was 8.1% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 6th of 17 on his team, and 306th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.39 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 18.3% of swings (8.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.5%. His -0.4 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.
