Brandon Kintzler was a relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2021 he struck out 22 batters over 29.2 innings across 29 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 6.37 was 49.3% higher than the league average of 4.27 — 16th of 19 on his team, and 512th of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.66 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 15.8% of swings (7.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.6%. 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.
