Francisley Bueno was a relief pitcher for the Kansas City Royals. In 2014 he struck out 20 batters over 32.1 innings across 30 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 4.18 was 11.6% higher than the league average of 3.74 — 11th of 15 on his team, and 307th of 477 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.84 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 20.5% of swings (10.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.1%. 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.
