Mick Abel is a starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2026 he struck out 23 batters over 20.1 innings across 4 appearances, 3 of them starts, going 1-2. His ERA of 3.98 is 4.7% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 6th of 19 on his team, and 258th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.76 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 28.8% of swings (14.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 24.7%. 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.
