Chad Bettis was a relief pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2019 he struck out 42 batters over 63.2 innings across 39 appearances, going 1-6. His ERA of 6.08 was 34.9% higher than the league average of 4.51 — 13th of 19 on his team, and 460th of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.16 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 20.7% of swings (9.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.6%. 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.
