Rico Garcia is a relief pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2026 he struck out 68 batters over 67.0 innings across 75 appearances, going 5-1. His ERA of 3.09 is 26.1% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 4th of 17 on his team, and 104th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.89 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 31.9% of swings (15.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 25.7%. His 0.6 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.
