FIP has him at a solid 4.10 while xFIP and 圎RA are a bit more bearish on his performance, pegging him at 4.94 and 4.58, respectively. The 5.86 ERA isn’t pretty, but ERA estimators are in consensus that he was much better than that number. Though not on any Rookie of the Year ballots, Bido had a decent showing in his 16 games, 9 of which were starts.
Signed out of the Dominican Republic at 21 years old by the Pittsburgh Pirates, the now 28-year-old finally made his major league debut this past season for the club in a swingman capacity.
