Sandy Alcantara is a starting pitcher for the Miami Marlins. In 2026 he struck out 152 batters over 213.0 innings across 35 appearances, 33 of them starts, going 13-11. His ERA of 3.89 is 7.0% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 9th of 18 on his team, and 242nd of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.10 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 20.9% of swings (10.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.1%. His 2.6 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.
