Joe Beimel is a relief pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. In 2015 he struck out 22 batters over 47.1 innings across 53 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 3.99 was 0.8% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 10th of 18 on his team, and 273rd of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.48 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 15.9% of swings (7.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.2%. His -0.6 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.
