Craig Stammen was a relief pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2022 he struck out 35 batters over 40.2 innings across 33 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 4.43 was 11.5% higher than the league average of 3.97 — 12th of 15 on his team, and 355th of 546 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.15 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 26.3% of swings (11.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.8%. 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.
