Fernando Rodney is a relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2019 he struck out 49 batters over 47.2 innings across 55 appearances, going 0-5. His ERA of 5.66 was 25.7% higher than the league average of 4.51 — 15th of 17 on his team, and 421st of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.28 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 26.5% of swings (11.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.3%. 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.
