<![CDATA[FIP vs ERA gap in 2025 — which pitchers were most robbed by bad defense?]]>The FIP-ERA gap for 2025 starters tells a clear story about which pitchers were hurt most by defense. The biggest victims: Milwaukee's ace whose ERA was 3.87 but FIP was 2.91 — nearly a full run difference explained by the Brewers' BABIP being 31 points above league average when he pitched. The Texas starter who had an ERA over 4 but a 3.21 FIP because his defense turned only 64% of balls in play into outs. Both pitchers should have significant improvements in ERA this season if their defense stabilizes, regardless of whether their stuff changes. Their contract values are being priced on ERA history that misrepresents their actual quality.
