Chris Hatcher was a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2018 he struck out 30 batters over 36.1 innings across 34 appearances, going 3-3. His ERA of 4.95 was 19.4% higher than the league average of 4.15 — 17th of 21 on his team, and 396th of 530 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.50 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 20.5% of swings (8.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.0%. 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.
