Jake Cousins is a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees. In 2024 he struck out 53 batters over 38.0 innings across 37 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 2.37 was 41.9% lower than the league average of 4.08 — the third best on his team, and 48th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.06 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 35.8% of swings (15.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 34.2%. 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.
