2026 review

José Fermín was a steady relief piece for LAA who outpitched his underlying numbers: he posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 53.2 IP across 53 games, with a 26.1 K% and a 10.5 BB% over 238 BF, picking up 4 W, 1 SV and 8 HLD. LAA optioned him Mar 6, recalled him Apr 26, optioned him again Jun 2, and recalled him Jun 15. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 557th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 297th of 811 pitchers and 212th of 575 relievers. His 3.86 ERA ran 0.74 below his 4.60 xERA over 238 BF. Right-handed batters managed just .231/.297/.342 over 128 PA against him while left-handed batters hit .242/.364/.429 over 110 PA. His best stretch was Jul at a 1.35 ERA in 13.1 IP, and his worst was Aug at a 5.23 ERA in 10.1 IP.
