José Berríos was a starting pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2025 he struck out 138 batters over 166.0 innings across 31 appearances, 30 of them starts, going 9-5. His ERA of 4.17 was level with the league average of 4.16 — 10th of 17 on his team, and 299th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.65 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.0% of swings (10.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.8%. His 1.1 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.
