Fernando Rodriguez Jr. is a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2016 he struck out 37 batters over 40.2 innings across 34 appearances, going 2-0. His ERA of 4.20 was level with the league average of 4.19 — 12th of 23 on his team, and 270th of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.61 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 29.2% of swings (14.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.7%. His 0.5 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.
