Rafael Dolis is a relief pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2021 he struck out 39 batters over 32.0 innings across 39 appearances, going 2-3. His ERA of 5.63 was 31.9% higher than the league average of 4.27 — the second worst on his team, and 459th of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.36 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 28.5% of swings (11.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 17.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 25.0%. 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.
