Charlie Furbush is a relief pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. In 2015 he struck out 17 batters over 21.2 innings across 33 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 2.08 was 47.6% lower than the league average of 3.96 — the second best on his team, and 32nd of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.73 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.0% of swings (11.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.7%. His 0.2 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.
