Guillermo Mota was a relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2012 he struck out 24 batters over 20.2 innings across 26 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 5.23 was 30.2% higher than the league average of 4.01 — the second worst on his team, and 395th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.11 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 26.8% of swings (11.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.4%. His 0.1 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.
