Brooks Brown is a relief pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2015 he struck out 20 batters over 33.0 innings across 36 appearances, going 1-3. His ERA of 4.91 was 23.9% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 12th of 21 on his team, and 401st of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.25 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 27.0% of swings (12.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.6%. 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.
