Daniel Hudson is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2024 he struck out 63 batters over 63.0 innings across 65 appearances, going 6-2. His ERA of 3.00 was 26.5% lower than the league average of 4.08 — 6th of 21 on his team, and 107th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.18 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 32.3% of swings (16.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 24.9%. His 0.2 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.
