Emmanuel Clase is a relief pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians. In 2025 he struck out 47 batters over 47.1 innings across 48 appearances, going 5-3. His ERA of 3.23 was 22.3% lower than the league average of 4.16 — 11th of 17 on his team, and 165th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.71 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 32.1% of swings (17.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.4%. His 1.0 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.
