Édgar González was a relief pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2013 he struck out 11 batters over 18.0 innings across 8 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 7.50 was 94.0% higher than the league average of 3.87. Stripping out defence, his 7.66 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 17.9% of swings (8.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.6%. His -0.7 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.
