Pablo López was a starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2025 he struck out 73 batters over 75.2 innings across 14 appearances, 14 of them starts, going 5-4. His ERA of 2.74 was 34.2% lower than the league average of 4.16 — 4th of 21 on his team, and 85th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.19 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.9% of swings (12.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.4%. His 1.8 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.
