Luis Garcia was a starting pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2025 he struck out 7 batters over 7.2 innings across 2 appearances, 2 of them starts, going 1-0. His ERA of 3.52 was 15.3% lower than the league average of 4.16. Stripping out defence, his 5.48 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 24.0% of swings (11.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 3.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 25.0%. 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.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
