Dana Eveland is a relief pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2016 he struck out 21 batters over 23.0 innings across 33 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 9.00 was 114.8% higher than the league average of 4.19 — the worst on his team, and 508th of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.89 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 21.2% of swings (8.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.6%. 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.
