Jesús Luzardo is a starting pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2026 he struck out 176 batters over 143.2 innings across 24 appearances, 24 of them starts, going 10-5. His ERA of 3.32 was 20.5% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 5th of 16 on his team, and 131st of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.83 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 31.8% of swings (14.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 29.7%. His 3.6 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.
