Jared Jones is a starting pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2026 he struck out 118 batters over 97.2 innings across 20 appearances, 20 of them starts, going 5-6. His ERA of 3.87 is 7.4% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 7th of 15 on his team, and 239th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.30 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 32.6% of swings (16.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 29.4%. His 2.3 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.
