Ranger Suarez is a starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In 2026 he struck out 140 batters over 148.1 innings across 28 appearances, 28 of them starts, going 8-5. His ERA of 3.22 is 23.0% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 9th of 19 on his team, and 123rd of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.16 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 21.7% of swings (9.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.9%. His 3.6 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.
