Cionel Pérez is a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2026 he struck out 44 batters over 45.1 innings across 40 appearances, going 4-3. His ERA of 4.76 was 14.0% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 14th of 22 on his team, and 373rd of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.43 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 24.0% of swings (11.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.2%. 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.
