Esmil Rogers is a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees. In 2015 he struck out 31 batters over 33.0 innings across 18 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 6.27 was 58.3% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 15th of 17 on his team, and 478th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.68 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 25.0% of swings (12.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.3%. 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.
