Tayler Saucedo is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 26 batters over 21.1 innings across 28 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 2.53 was 39.5% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the best on his team, and 47th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.68 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 37.2% of swings (17.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 29.9%. His 0.5 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.
