Jesús Luzardo is a starting pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2026 he struck out 221 batters over 178.2 innings across 29 appearances, 29 of them starts, going 14-5. His ERA of 2.97 is 28.9% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the third best on his team, and 88th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.78 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 31.9% of swings (14.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 30.4%. His 5.3 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.
