Chris Withrow is a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2016 he struck out 28 batters over 37.2 innings across 46 appearances, going 3-0. His ERA of 3.58 was 14.5% lower than the league average of 4.19 — 7th of 24 on his team, and 182nd of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.90 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 24.8% of swings (12.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.7%. 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.
