Cionel Pérez is a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2026 he struck out 41 batters over 41.2 innings across 36 appearances, going 4-3. His ERA of 4.97 was 19.0% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 12th of 16 on his team, and 348th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.45 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 25.2% of swings (11.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.7%. His 0.1 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.
