Héctor Rondón was a relief pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2020 he struck out 23 batters over 20.0 innings across 23 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 7.65 was 71.8% higher than the league average of 4.45 — the worst on his team, and 310th of 323 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.59 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 19.7% of swings (9.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.7%. His -0.3 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.
