Yusmeiro Petit was a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2021 he struck out 37 batters over 78.0 innings across 78 appearances, going 8-3. His ERA of 3.92 was 8.0% lower than the league average of 4.27 — 6th of 14 on his team, and 252nd of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.72 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 21.0% of swings (10.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 3.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.8%. His 0.0 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.
