Alec Gamboa is a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In 2026 he struck out 23 batters over 33.0 innings across 21 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 1.91 is 54.3% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the second best on his team, and 17th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.19 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 16.4% of swings (8.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.4%. His 0.6 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.
