Chris Seddon was a relief pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. In 2012 he struck out 18 batters over 34.1 innings across 17 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 3.67 was 8.6% lower than the league average of 4.01 — 5th of 18 on his team, and 213th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.94 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 21.3% of swings (10.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.2%. 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.
