Joe Jiménez was a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2024 he struck out 82 batters over 68.2 innings across 69 appearances, going 1-5. His ERA of 2.62 was 35.7% lower than the league average of 4.08 — 6th of 15 on his team, and 67th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.34 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 32.9% of swings (16.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 29.6%. 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.
