José Fermin is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he struck out 45 batters over 38.1 innings across 35 appearances, going 3-2. His ERA of 3.29 was 21.3% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 5th of 18 on his team, and 128th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.23 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 31.8% of swings (15.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 27.1%. 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.
