Carlos Hernández is a relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2025 he struck out 39 batters over 43.1 innings across 41 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 6.23 was 49.8% higher than the league average of 4.16 — the second worst on his team, and 484th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.20 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 26.6% of swings (13.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.2%. 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.
