Mitch Harris was a relief pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2015 he struck out 15 batters over 27.0 innings across 26 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 3.67 was 7.4% lower than the league average of 3.96 — 13th of 16 on his team, and 216th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.39 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 17.9% of swings (9.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.3%. His -0.3 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.
