Louis Coleman is a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2018 he struck out 41 batters over 51.1 innings across 51 appearances, going 4-1. His ERA of 3.51 was 15.5% lower than the league average of 4.15 — the third best on his team, and 174th of 530 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.58 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 27.5% of swings (12.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.9%. His 0.0 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.
