Santiago Casilla is a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2018 he struck out 22 batters over 31.1 innings across 26 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 3.16 was 23.9% lower than the league average of 4.15 — 6th of 21 on his team, and 122nd of 530 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.05 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 23.9% of swings (9.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 15.2% 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.
