Jorge Alcala is a relief pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2025 he struck out 61 batters over 55.0 innings across 56 appearances, going 0-2. His ERA of 6.22 was 49.5% higher than the league average of 4.16 — 19th of 21 on his team, and 482nd of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.68 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 25.7% of swings (12.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.7%. His -0.7 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.
