Sandy Alcantara is a starting pitcher for the Miami Marlins. In 2026 he struck out 128 batters over 163.2 innings across 25 appearances, 25 of them starts, going 13-6. His ERA of 3.52 was 15.7% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 6th of 16 on his team, and 169th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.77 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 21.9% of swings (11.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.0%. His 2.4 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.
