Luis Castillo is a starting pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. In 2026 he struck out 112 batters over 130.2 innings across 29 appearances, 23 of them starts, going 4-11. His ERA of 5.85 is 40.1% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the worst on his team, and 474th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.05 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.7% of swings (12.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.9%. 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.
