Juan Carlos Oviedo was a relief pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2014 he struck out 26 batters over 31.2 innings across 32 appearances, going 3-3. His ERA of 3.69 was 1.2% lower than the league average of 3.74 — 8th of 17 on his team, and 243rd of 477 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.52 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 24.9% of swings (10.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.6%. His -0.1 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.
