Jared Hughes was a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2020 he struck out 21 batters over 22.1 innings across 18 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 4.84 was 8.6% higher than the league average of 4.45 — 6th of 10 on his team, and 231st of 323 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.61 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 32.1% of swings (14.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.3%. 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.
