Francisco Cordero was a relief pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2012 he struck out 31 batters over 39.1 innings across 47 appearances, going 3-8. His ERA of 7.55 was 88.1% higher than the league average of 4.01 — the second worst on his team, and 474th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.02 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 22.4% of swings (9.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.1%. His -0.7 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.
