Tony Santillan is a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2026 he struck out 36 batters over 40.2 innings across 44 appearances, going 3-4. His ERA of 6.42 is 53.6% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the second worst on his team, and 507th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 7.06 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.9% of swings (10.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.8%. His -1.1 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.
