Sixto Sánchez is a relief pitcher for the Miami Marlins. In 2024 he struck out 17 batters over 35.2 innings across 14 appearances, going 0-3. His ERA of 6.06 was 48.5% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 19th of 24 on his team, and 490th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.74 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 13.2% of swings (6.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 10.5%. His 0.0 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.
