Germán Márquez is a starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2026 he struck out 37 batters over 53.0 innings across 13 appearances, 10 of them starts, going 4-2. His ERA of 5.26 is 26.0% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 16th of 19 on his team, and 426th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.61 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 19.0% of swings (9.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.7%. His -1.0 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.
