Manny Parra was a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2015 he struck out 23 batters over 32.1 innings across 40 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 3.90 was 1.6% lower than the league average of 3.96 — 7th of 20 on his team, and 259th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.07 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.8% of swings (11.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.7%. His 0.6 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.
