Jack Perkins is a relief pitcher for the Athletics. In 2026 he struck out 92 batters over 76.2 innings across 28 appearances, going 2-8. His ERA of 7.04 was 68.7% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the worst on his team, and 451st of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.76 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 27.9% of swings (13.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.4%. 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.
