Jake McGee was a relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2022 he struck out 25 batters over 37.0 innings across 42 appearances, going 1-3. His ERA of 6.81 was 71.6% higher than the league average of 3.97 — the worst on his team, and 531st of 546 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.84 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 19.3% of swings (10.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.3%. His -0.2 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.
