Jose Cuas is a relief pitcher for the Kansas City Royals. In 2026 he struck out 10 batters over 8.0 innings across 7 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 2.25 was 46.1% lower than the league average of 4.18. Stripping out defence, his 1.34 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.5% of swings (11.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 27.8%. His 0.3 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.

Head to head
Put Jose Cuas beside up to three others.
wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
