Danys Baez was a relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2011 he struck out 18 batters over 36.0 innings across 29 appearances, going 2-4. His ERA of 6.25 was 58.5% higher than the league average of 3.94 — the worst on his team, and 431st of 457 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.16 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 14.7% of swings (6.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.0%. 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.
