Julian Aguiar is a starting pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2024 he struck out 19 batters over 31.2 innings across 7 appearances, 7 of them starts, going 2-1. His ERA of 6.25 was 53.3% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the worst on his team, and 499th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.86 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 18.6% of swings (9.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.6%. 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.
