Jimmy Herget is a relief pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2026 he struck out 47 batters over 53.2 innings across 51 appearances, going 0-6. His ERA of 5.70 is 36.5% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 13th of 21 on his team, and 468th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.39 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 24.8% of swings (11.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.8%. 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.
