Hunter Strickland is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2025 he struck out 14 batters over 22.0 innings across 19 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 3.27 was 21.3% lower than the league average of 4.16 — the second best on his team, and 167th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.41 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 21.3% of swings (10.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.4%. His 0.0 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.
