Jim Henderson is a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2016 he struck out 40 batters over 35.0 innings across 44 appearances, going 2-2. His ERA of 4.11 was 1.8% lower than the league average of 4.19 — 11th of 15 on his team, and 258th of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.83 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.7% of swings (11.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 25.8%. 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.
