Brayan Bello is a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In 2026 he struck out 64 batters over 83.2 innings across 18 appearances, going 4-6. His ERA of 4.84 was 15.9% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the second worst on his team, and 336th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.34 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 25.3% of swings (12.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.5%. His 0.5 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.
