Cesar Jimenez was a relief pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2015 he struck out 25 batters over 23.0 innings across 19 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 3.13 was 21.0% lower than the league average of 3.96 — 5th of 19 on his team, and 128th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.13 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 25.3% of swings (11.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 27.5%. His 0.4 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.
