Jordan Hicks is a relief pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. In 2026 he struck out 40 batters over 34.0 innings across 38 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 3.44 was 17.6% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 7th of 16 on his team, and 159th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.53 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 23.9% of swings (10.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.3%. His 0.4 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.
