Luis Severino is a starting pitcher for the Athletics. In 2026 he struck out 65 batters over 62.2 innings across 12 appearances, 12 of them starts, going 2-6. His ERA of 4.16 was level with the league average of 4.18 — 4th of 16 on his team, and 262nd of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.46 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 23.0% of swings (11.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 24.0%. His 0.4 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.
