Jorge López is a relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2025 he struck out 17 batters over 24.2 innings across 26 appearances, going 6-0. His ERA of 6.57 was 57.9% higher than the league average of 4.16 — 17th of 21 on his team, and 502nd of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.50 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 17.1% of swings (8.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.0%. 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.
