Joe Ryan is a starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2026 he struck out 159 batters over 144.2 innings across 27 appearances, 27 of them starts, going 7-10. His ERA of 3.79 is 9.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 5th of 19 on his team, and 221st of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.70 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 25.8% of swings (12.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 25.9%. His 2.5 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.
