Alex Vesia is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2026 he struck out 54 batters over 39.2 innings across 51 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 2.95 was 29.4% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 6th of 15 on his team, and 103rd of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.06 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 36.2% of swings (17.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 32.1%. His 0.7 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.
