Carlos Hernández is a relief pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians. In 2026 he struck out 4 batters over 3.0 innings across 2 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 6.00 is 43.6% higher than the league average of 4.18. Stripping out defence, his 5.77 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 23.1% of swings (11.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 28.6%. His -0.0 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.
