Brandon Gomes is a relief pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2015 he struck out 44 batters over 59.0 innings across 64 appearances, going 2-6. His ERA of 4.27 was 7.8% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 14th of 18 on his team, and 331st of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.76 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 24.8% of swings (12.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.0%. 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.
