José Fermin is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 62 batters over 53.2 innings across 53 appearances, going 4-3. His ERA of 3.86 is 7.7% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 10th of 21 on his team, and 236th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.87 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 29.8% of swings (14.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.1%. 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.
