Carlos Vargas is a relief pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. In 2025 he struck out 54 batters over 77.0 innings across 70 appearances, going 5-5. His ERA of 3.97 was 4.4% lower than the league average of 4.16 — 8th of 15 on his team, and 273rd of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.59 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 18.9% of swings (9.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.3%. 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.
