Gustavo Chacín was a relief pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2010 he struck out 31 batters over 38.1 innings across 44 appearances, going 2-2. His ERA of 4.70 was 15.1% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 11th of 17 on his team, and 327th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.04 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 21.0% of swings (9.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.7%. His 0.2 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.
