Cionel Pérez is a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2026 he struck out 42 batters over 44.1 innings across 39 appearances, going 4-3. His ERA of 4.87 is 16.6% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 17th of 22 on his team, and 392nd of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.48 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.6% of swings (11.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.6%. His 0.1 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.
