José Ureña is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2025 he struck out 34 batters over 55.0 innings across 19 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 4.58 was 10.2% higher than the league average of 4.16 — 9th of 18 on his team, and 362nd of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.21 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 19.8% of swings (9.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.9%. 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.
