Jimmy Herget is a relief pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2026 he struck out 34 batters over 32.0 innings across 34 appearances, going 0-4. His ERA of 6.75 was 61.6% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 15th of 17 on his team, and 444th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.18 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 27.7% of swings (12.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.7%. His -0.2 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.
