Aaron Poreda was a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2014 he struck out 21 batters over 21.1 innings across 26 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 5.91 was 57.9% higher than the league average of 3.74 — 15th of 20 on his team, and 443rd of 477 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.51 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.4% of swings (10.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.6%. 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.
