Arquimedes Caminero was a relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2016 he struck out 50 batters over 60.2 innings across 57 appearances, going 2-3. His ERA of 3.56 was 15.0% lower than the league average of 4.19 — 6th of 18 on his team, and 178th of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.88 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 23.1% of swings (10.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.9%. 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.
