Joey Lucchesi is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 4 batters over 3.1 innings across 5 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 13.50 was 222.9% higher than the league average of 4.18. Stripping out defence, his 10.90 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 19.0% of swings (7.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 25.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.7%. His -0.2 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.
