Julio Urías was a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2023 he struck out 117 batters over 117.1 innings across 21 appearances, 21 of them starts, going 11-8. His ERA of 4.60 was 6.2% higher than the league average of 4.33 — 12th of 21 on his team, and 343rd of 550 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.69 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 24.2% of swings (12.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 24.3%. His 0.8 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.
