Mike Paredes is a starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2026 he struck out 19 batters over 34.1 innings across 9 appearances, 5 of them starts, going 0-3. His ERA of 4.72 is 12.9% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 12th of 19 on his team, and 371st of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.67 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 19.3% of swings (9.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.3%. His -0.3 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.
