Jumbo Diaz was a relief pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2017 he struck out 28 batters over 30.0 innings across 31 appearances, going 1-4. His ERA of 5.70 was 30.8% higher than the league average of 4.36 — the second worst on his team, and 443rd of 527 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.52 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 25.6% of swings (12.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.6%. 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.
