Peter Moylan is a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2018 he struck out 23 batters over 28.1 innings across 39 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 4.45 was 7.2% higher than the league average of 4.15 — the second worst on his team, and 329th of 530 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.49 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.8% of swings (11.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.8%. His -0.3 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.
