Bryan Corey was a relief pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2008 he struck out 22 batters over 45.0 innings across 46 appearances, going 1-3. His ERA of 6.80 was 57.3% higher than the league average of 4.32 — 17th of 19 on his team, and 451st of 482 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.27 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 16.1% of swings (7.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.1%. His -0.3 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.
